The year was 1959. The occasion was a ' Battle of
the Blues? at the Blue Flame Club in Chicago . A
young harmonica player Junior Wells ? who got his
start as Little Walter Jacobs? replacement in
Muddy Waters? band back in ?52 ? probably didn?t
imagine he would come in second. After all, he had
already put down both Otis Rush and Magic Sam.
Still to come, though, was this fleet-fingered,
skinny young Louisiana cat ? Buddy Guy, who came
first. As the climax to his blistering solo, Guy
tossed his guitar in the air, then caught it by
the neck ? one handed. As it slid through his
fingers, Buddy created this high levee moan. Crowd
gone wild. It was the beginning of a beautiful
friendship.
That chance meeting set in motion more than a
relationship. This early, and profound, respect
translated into a partnership that somehow
superceded Wells? early work with one of the most
important people in the blues. Wells and Guy would
produce some of the most unabashed and deeply
cool West Side blues recordings.This album
recorded for the French Isabel label, in 1979 is a
companion piece to Guy?s 'Blues Giant? recording
of the same year.
There?s the gentle blues shuffle of 'It Hurts Me
Too,? made famous by Elmore James. There?s the
electric-blues muscle of the title tune. Finally,
as a bonus track, there?s the funky, clearly James
Brown-influenced 'I Smell Something.?
This is a fine recording ? and certainly one of
Junior?s best little-known releases.
