Buddy Guy, Junior Wells/RI, USA 1968

This is a soundboard live sound source of Buddy Guy + Junior Wells, the strongest buddies in blues history produced by Muddy Waters. And it’s 1968, so it can’t be bad. Buddy’s guitar is on the left, AC/Lead’s saxophone is on the right, and you can clearly hear the nuances of the performance even in the background of the song. Accumulating, accumulating, accumulating…it’s an explosion! Buddy’s hysterical solo is overwhelming and insane, and it’s no wonder that it captivated Jimi Hendrix in the past, so much so that he could have been a pinch hitter for Robert Quine in Void Is. AC Reed, who was in high demand in blues bands at the time, plays less harmonica, but Junior, who takes command of the whole band with his passionate vocals and shouts, perfectly tightens the band. Although the recording time is short, it is definitely a necessary title. Recorded Live at Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, July 28, 1968 EX-Soundboard recording *** 39 min 1. Introduction 2.
