 Seen em Live! Aug 14, 2009
What can I say? A five star album rating to balance
out the idiot who gave the album a good review but only
2 stars. Well I did see them live in the 80's at a club
in Portland. "Can you smell that s*** ", said Buddy Guy
as he was wailing on lead guitar while Junior jammed
on harp!
 The Blues Is The Dues Dec 20, 2008
Readers of this space may be aware that over the past year or so I have gone to great lengths to highlight some of the blues greats that I was doggedly devoted to as a kid (and still am) and helped form in me, and others from my generation, the Generation of '68 as well, an important musical componet as we fought our political battles for a more just society. The names of Lead Belly, Josh White, Son House, Muddy Waters and the like easily come to mind.
And then in a whisper in the back of the brain comes- don't forget Buddy Guy. Well, of course. The Chicago blues branch of the blues tree would not be complete without recognizing what every serious blues artist of the time recognized- here was a master. This CD only goes to prove the point. Electric guitar, acoustic guitar, solo, with Junior Wells, as a backup to others Guy did it all. Even with all-star help this is strictly Buddy's gig. That's why there was that little whisper.
So what is good here? Well, how about "T-Bone Shuffle", (that's T-Bone Walker of course), "This Old Fool" and "Honeydripper". Listen and see if you agree.

What more could you ask for? Sep 17, 2007
I bought "Buddy Guy & Junior Wells Play the Blues abum" when it first hit the rack.
Then again about a month ago. It had the same effect as it did back then...I put it in the cd player, sat down and didn't get up until I'd heard every song on the cd.
It is Buddy Guy and Junior at their very best.

Blues at its best Sep 04, 2007
This is a classic album - full of raw power, funk and foot tapping drive yet somehow doesn't seem to take itself too seriously. Not just for the blues zealots, this album may actually manage to bring the willfully ignorant into the light!
