Description
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 Billy Warren -- and proceeded to blow up a storm, bringing an immediacy to "Snatch It Back and Hold It," "You Don't Love Me," "Chitlin Con Carne," and the rest that is absolutely mesmerizing. ~ Bill Dahl, AMG

Press Reviews
5 Stars - Excellent - "..the first LP to capture the raw dynamism of Chicago's second-generation electric blues. It's still a classic...peak performances by Wells on harmonica and vocals and Buddy Guy on guitar... Down Beat (11/91)
