junior wells - live around the world: the best of junior wells (2002) (nongseynyo)

noreply@blogger.com (azzul) — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 13:00:00 GMT

With his rakish sartorial splendor that murmured "Don't mess with me" and a stage swagger to match, it's tempting to dub Chicago blues legend Junior Wells the Godfather of Gangster--except that if Wells were alive, he might just drub, verbally or otherwise, anyone who dared. This live set was culled from club recordings made on what became Wells's final 1996-97 tour...

He was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and raised in Arkansas. Intially influenced by fellow Memphian Junior Parker, and both Sonny Boy Williamsons, Wells moved to Chicago in 1948 and began sitting in with local musicians at house parties and taverns. He began performing with The Aces (guitarist brothers Dave and Louis Myers and drummer Fred Below) and developed a more modern amplified...

His debut cd "Can't Tell Me" without a doubt sits on the foundation of rocking blues.

BILLY BRANCH: The Blues Keep Following Me Around (BLUES TOWN (The City Of Blues))

noreply@blogger.com (JT) — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 02:51:00 GMT

When Billy Branch appeared with three of his elders--James Cotton, Junior Wells, and Carey Bell--on the 1991 album Harp Attack, it was a sign he had finally emerged as a major Chicago blues-harmonica player, one who had added jazz and R&B touches to the blues fundamentals learned from his mentors. Branch's first solo album, The Blues Keep Following Me Around, captures his modern...

The Final Word on three more artists this week. First, bluesman Phil Guy, brother of Buddy, who has died aged 71 of prostate cancer. Phil played with Buddy, Junior Wells and Slim Harpo among others but never quite made it as a solo blues singer. I remember seeing him a few years ago - at Willesden Public Library if my memory serves me right - and he was an impressive performer but...

I've met Buddy. He's a wonderful person. He gave me his phone numbers over 25 years ago so I could get him and...

Some years back, Jay Sheffield was doing the booking for the first B.B. King's Club, on Beale Street in Memphis. I had just gotten a hold of a great compilation of Junior Wells' early recordings on the Chief label. I dropped by Jay's office, told him he ought to bring Junior in to B.B.'s, handed Jay the CD for proof, and took my leave. A week or so later I started hearing he...
