„Hoodoo Man Blues“ is not only Junior Wells‘ initial LP appearance, it is damn near the first LP by a Chicago blues band. This is the album that started the collector blues label trend of the late ’60s. Chess and a few other labels had reissued 45’s by Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Howlin‘ Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Elmore James, etc., but virtually no one had tried to capture the Chicago blues sound, free of the juke-box/airplay promotional mediums limitations of the 45. This album features the smoking guitar of the legendary Buddy Guy along with a crack rhythm section.
