1	Hoodoo Man Blues (1965) more music like this by Junior Wells One of the truly classic blues albums of the 1960s, and one of the first to fully document the smoky ambience of a night at a West side nightspot in the superior acoustics of a recording studio. Wells just set up with his usual cohorts -- guitarist Buddy Guy (billed as "Friendly Chap" on first vinyl pressings), bassist Jack Myers, and drummer ... see all copies from £7.10! new only from £7.86!
2	Blues Masters, Vol. 4: Harmonica Classics (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Vol. 4: Harmonica Classics is a typically ace installment of the Blues Masters series has examples par excellence from most of the major electric blues harmonica geniuses, including Little Walter, Junior Wells, Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton, Paul Butterfield, Billy Boy Arnold, Lazy Lester, and Jimmy Reed. And while there are a few expected ... see all copies from £6.12! new only from £7.73!
3	Alone & Acoustic (1991) more music like this by Buddy Guy/Junior Wells The classic pairing of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells has been captured many times on vinyl, cassette, and disc over the years, but rarely with such intimacy and subtle, restrained energy as on this wonderful collection. Buddy Guy plays mostly 12 string guitar, and Junior laces his signature lines through the songs, engaging Guy in the kind of musical ... see all copies from £7.86! new only from £11.54!
4	Putumayo Presents: Mississippi Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £10.73! new only from £10.73!
5	The Alligator Records 20th Anniversary Collection (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This solid 2-disc compilation celebrates two decades of this label's existence. There are many worthwhile tracks but few surprises. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from £6.33! new only from £11.58!
6	Come on in This House (1997) more music like this by Junior Wells Junior Wells' penchant for clowning around sometimes conflicts with his craftsmanship, but he's all business on Come on in This House, his most unadulterated blues record since his highly acclaimed Hoodoo Man Blues of more than 30 years vintage. This is what has come to be known as an "unplugged" session -- that is, predominately, although not ... see all copies from £10.81! new only from £11.89!
7	Best of the Vanguard Years (1998) more music like this by Junior Wells Best of the Vanguard Years collects Junior Wells' material from the Chicago! The Blues! Today! various-artists series, live and studio tracks from the albums It's My Life, Baby! and Comin' at You, and a smattering of rare and/or unreleased cuts. As a Wells retrospective, it's irredeemably incomplete, covering as it does his output for only one ... see all copies from £7.51! new only from £12.19!
8	Last Time Around -- Live at Legends (1998) more music like this by Buddy Guy & Junior Wells Last Time Around -- Live At Legends is a fitting farewell to the late, great Junior Wells and his partnership, friendship and kinship with Buddy Guy that lasted decades. The album is a historic release in many ways. It reunites two blues legends who began their unique association in the 1950s. The album was recorded live in March 1993 at Buddy Guy ... see all copies from £5.46! new only from £9.15!
9	Blues Hit Big Town (1977) more music like this by Junior Wells This 1998 CD reissue of Wells' debut recordings for the States label adds four previously unheard tracks along with the original 13-track vinyl lineup. Wells' legacy begins with these landmark sides, featuring Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Johnnie Jones, Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, and the Aces in the lineup at various points. Whether it's a slow one ... see all copies from £7.43! new only from £8.27!
10	The Best of Chicago Blues [Vanguard CD] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £5.28! new only from £11.89!
11	Harp Attack! (1990) more music like this by James Cotton/Junior Wells/Carey Bell/Branch Four Chicago harmonica greats, one eminently solid album. Teamed with Junior Wells, Billy Branch, and Carey Bell, Cotton sings Willie Love's Delta classic "Little Car Blues" and Charles Brown's "Black Night" and plays along with his cohorts on most of the rest of the set. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from £6.80! new only from £12.09!
12 view cover	Chicago/The Blues/Today! (1999) more music like this by Various Artists In early 1966, blues history was made with the issuance of a three-volume set of new recordings produced by blues historian Samuel Charters. This series was known as Chicago/The Blues/Today! and the release sent shock waves through the world of rock & roll. Every artist on the three volumes had recorded before (some, like Otis Rush and Junior ... see all copies from £12.96! new only from £13.50!
13 view cover	It's My Life, Baby! (1966) more music like this by Junior Wells Although It's My Life, Baby! was decent mid-'60s electric Chicago blues, coming so soon after Junior Wells' 1965 classic Hoodoo Man Blues -- one of the greatest blues LPs ever -- it was something of a disappointment. Wells' chief right-hand man for Hoodoo Man Blues, guitarist Buddy Guy, was still on board for these recordings, but the band ... see all copies from £6.48! new only from £8.36!
14 view cover	On Tap (1975) more music like this by Junior Wells Underrated mid-'70s collection boasting a contemporary, funky edge driven by guitarists Phil Guy and Sammy Lawhorn, keyboardist Big Moose Walker, and saxman A.C. Reed. Especially potent is the crackling "The Train I Ride," a kissin' cousin to Little Junior Parker's "Mystery Train." Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from £8.38! new only from £8.38!
15 view cover	Blind Pig Records: 20th Anniversary Collection (1997) more music like this by Various Artists San Francisco's Blind Pig Records celebrates their 20th anniversary with this two-disc, 36-track collection featuring over two hours' worth of highlights from their many releases with a few unreleased bonus tracks to spice up the mix. Originally started as a sideline to a blues club in Ann Arbor, MI, with an ear toward documenting the local scene ... see all copies from £6.48! new only from £11.42!
16 view cover	Buddy Guy & Junior Wells Play the Blues (1972) more music like this by Buddy Guy/Junior Wells Considering the troubled background of this album (Eric Clapton, Ahmet Ertegun, and Tom Dowd only ended up with eight tracks at a series of 1970 sessions in Miami; two years later, the J. Geils Band was brought in to cut two additional songs to round out the long-delayed LP for 1972 release), the results were pretty impressive. Buddy Guy ... see all copies from £6.98! new only from £7.13!
17 view cover	Live at the Golden Bear (1969) more music like this by Junior Wells The swaggering harpman took his act on the road to Huntington Beach, CA to do this live set with his touring quartet of the moment. Virtually nothing but blues and soul standards that show his wide stylistic range -- alongside tunes by Muddy Waters, both Sonny Boys and the Wolf resides an impassioned reading of James Brown's "Please, Please, ... see all copies from £4.09! new only from £4.09!
18 view cover	South Side Blues Jam (1970) more music like this by Junior Wells Enjoyable but less electrifying follow-up to Hoodoo Man Blues, cut in 1969-1970 -- looser, with longer songs that afford more room to stretch out instrumentally but don't quite equal the stunning precision of what came before. Buddy Guy returns on guitar; Otis Spann is the pianist, and Fred Below keeps superb time. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from £8.38! new only from £8.38!
19 view cover	Live at Theresa's 1975 (2006) more music like this by Junior Wells Recorded at two separate gigs in January 1975 but not issued until 2006, this captures Junior Wells on-stage at Theresa's, one of the most esteemed Chicago blues clubs. It's a little rawer than most live albums; the sound is good, and Wells is in good form, but his band is a little rough (and, particularly on the tracks with guitarist Sammy ... see all copies from £10.83! new only from £10.83!
20 view cover	Coming at You (1968) more music like this by Junior Wells Another eminently solid outing by the legendary harpist that captures his trademark barroom bravado in a studio setting. The band is quite tight -- Buddy Guy and Lefty Dizz are the guitarists, Douglas Fagan plays sax, and Clark Terry, believe it or not, occupies a third of the trumpet section -- and the set list is dominated by oldies from both ... see all copies from £8.81! new only from £8.81!
21 view cover	Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom Swing, Lindy, Jitterbug & Jive (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom Swing, Lindy, Jitterbug & Jive was designed to cash in on the swing and lounge revival of the '90s by offering a selection of uptempo swing and jump blues songs, along with a choreography and beats-per-minute guide, designed for hip young swingers who want to dance the Lindy, jitterbug, and jive. Despite a few ... see all copies from £4.78! new only from £7.37!
22 view cover	Prime Chops: Blind Pig Sampler (1990) more music like this by Various Artists A 14-track sampler, it has a variety of contemporary blues sounds. Niles J. Frantz, All Music Guide see all copies from £6.73! new only from £7.81!
23 view cover	Pleading the Blues (1979) more music like this by Junior Wells/Buddy Guy Recorded on Halloween night in 1979, this pairs up Wells and Guy in a fashion that hasn't been heard since Hoodoo Man Blues, their first, and best collaboration. Solid backing by the Philip Guy band (Buddy's brother) makes this album a rare treat. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from £5.43!
24 view cover	Paint It Blue: Songs of the Rolling Stones (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The idea behind Paint It Blue: Songs of the Rolling Stones is such a simple, appealing one that it's a wonder that the record wasn't made before 1997. The Stones never made any secret of their debt to the blues, so it makes sense that their songs would sound good when performed by blues and R&B artists. That's the idea behind Paint It Blue -- ... see all copies from £7.13!
25 view cover	Blues Masters, Vol. 16: More Harmonica Classics (1998) more music like this by Various Artists With such a wealth of great harmonica blues out there, and with such an outstanding track record on Rhino's part in general when it comes to historical compilations, it's no surprise that their second anthology of harmonica blues is just as good as the first. There are fine cuts by many big guns here, including Little Walter, both Sonny Boy ... see all copies from £7.34! new only from £7.34!
