Buddy Guy & Junior Wells Play The Blues (1972)



By all accounts, the greatest album ever cut by Chicago electric blues legend Buddy Guy and his studio and stage cohort Junior Wells. Features Eric Clapton, Dr. John, and members of The J. Geils Band in a thrilling, first-take studio session from Miami, done without rehearsal and with minimal overdubbing. Buddy Guy & Junior Wells Play the Blues is regarded by some critics as among the finest electric blues recordings of the modern era. -- Various
