One of the truly classic blues albums of the 1960s, and one of the first to fully document the smoky ambience of a night at a West side nightspot in the superior acoustics of a recording studio. Wells just set up with his usual cohorts -- guitarist Buddy Guy (billed as "Friendly Chap" on first vinyl pressings), bassist Jack Myers, and drummer Billy Warren -- and proceeded to blow up a storm, bringing an immediacy to "Snatch It Back and Hold It," "You Don't Love Me," "Chitlin con Carne," and the rest of the tracks that is absolutely mesmerizing.
Hit Chicago at twelve years old and never looked back. By eighteen he was playing in the Muddy Waters Band. His album Hoodoo Man Blues is considered the first blues album recorded as such, not a collection of singles as was the practice beforehand. Blah, blah, blah, (my opinion) make up your own mind. Add Buddy Guy at his best.
