"Buddy Guy & Junior Wells Play The Blues" is one of the duo's very best albums. Two tracks are Junior Wells-less, recorded by Buddy Guy with the J. Geils Band; the remaining eight songs feature a star-studded backing band which includes pianist Dr. John on several tracks, and some guy named Eric Clapton.
The song list is excellent, and so is the band, which sounds tight and supple, never threatening to overwhelm the two stars.
There are none of the erratic vocal performances or rambling solos that sometimes plagued the duo's live shows (this album is a studio recording). Junior Wells sizzles, laying down some great vocal performances. Buddy Guy's solos are controlled and disciplined, yet strikingly effective in up-tempo and ballad situations, and tenor saxist (and occational band leader) A.C. Reed provides soulful fills and solos.
Guy does a fine "Bad Bad Whiskey" with an otherwise very discreet Eric Clapton playing slide guitar, and he is entirely credible in a grinding Otis Redding mode on the southern soul stomper "A Man Of Many Words". Junior Wells does a great rendition of "Come On In This House" and his Vanguard classic "Messin' With The Kid", and the two share centre stage on a sizzling remake of T-Bone Walker's "T-Bone Shuffle".
This CD deserves a place among the other fine items in the Rhino/Atlantic R&B Masters series. Definitely recommended.

There are a few albums around that really sum up what a certain style of music is all about. When it comes to blues, then this cd is one of them. Buddy Guy's smart guitar work and Junior Wells great harp playing really make this album work.
