Hoodoo Man Blues (Limited Edition Blue Vinyl)

by Junior Wells / Buddy Guy

HOODOO MAN BLUES is not only Junior Well’s initial LP appearance, it is damn near the first LP by a Chicago blues band. Chess Records and a few other labels had reissued 45’s by Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Howling Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Elmore James, etc., but virtually no one had tried to capture the Chicago blues sound, free from limitations of jukebox or airplay promotion. Delmark is proud of the part Hoodoo Man Blues played in the popularizing of real Chicago blues and of Junior Wells. But the credit belongs to Junior, Buddy, Jack and Billy – they made the music. We just sat and dug it!
