Junior Wells - 1953-54 - Blues Hit Big Town

 By Bill Milkowski

"Those wonderful folks at Delmark have opened the floodgates on another batch of blues treasures. Junior Wells' Blues Hit Big Town (Delmark DD-640; 48:38) is culled from historic 1953-'54 sessions that feature backing by Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, The Aces with Louis and Dave Myers and other Chicago blues stalwarts. Cut when the late Wells was only 19, it includes his first ever recording of "Hoodoo Man." An amazing document by one of the great 'real deal' bluesmen of all-time.

What irony. I was just listening to "Hoodoo Man Blues," one *very* overrated LP. I check in here and the top post is the real McCoy. Now *here's* some Junior Wells with some bite! Thanks for posting. [And if you can, please reup the Fire in My Bones collection :-) ]
