Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, & Junior Mance– Buddy And The Juniors (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded the same year Buddy Guy was tearing up the electric blues circuit, this acoustic session captures a rarer, more intimate side of one of Chicago's most electrifying guitarists. Junior Mance's jazz sensibility gives the date a distinct looseness that sets it apart from Guy and Wells' usual South Side sound, a reminder that the line between blues and jazz was always more porous than people assumed.
Buddy Guy/Junior Wells/Junior Mance - "Buddy And The Juniors (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series)" [180g Heavy Vinyl LP] In 1969, guitarist Buddy Guy got together with his old Chicago blues pal Junior Wells, added in jazz pianist Junior Mance, and cut a loose for an "unplugged" session for Blue Thumb Records that would become the now-legendary album, Buddy And The Juniors. Buddy and the two Juniors were relaxed, cutting familiar tunes like Willie Dixon's "Hoochie Coochie Man" and their own off-the-cuff originals, including "Buddy's Blues." Additionally, two improvised tracks were recorded in a single burst of creative energy: "Riffin'" and "Talkin' 'Bout Women Obviously," all making for a fresh, inviting and inspiring album. Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
