Junior Wells’ Chicago Blues Band With Buddy Guy – Hoodoo Man Blues (Audiophile)

€149,99

“This viscerally punchy electric blues is anchored by unimprovable harp playing from Junior Wells, a young Buddy Guy by his side. From the kick of up-tempo numbers like “Snatch It Back and Hold It” to the deep, sexy, slow moan of “Early in the Morning,” you just can’t top this. Current audiophile bona fides are in excellent order, thanks to fine remastering by Kevin Gray and Analogue Productions.

” — Sasha Matson, Stereophile’s Records To Die For, February 2018

“…this album is DYNOMITE and this pressing is sweet. A truly great album done truly well.” Music = 11/11; Sound = 10/11 – Mark Schlack

One of the all-time great urban blues records and the best-seller in the famed Delmark catalog. Hoodoo Man Blues is so full of bravado and snap it’ll make you feel tough just listening to it. Not all of the Delmark titles were recorded very well, but this one certainly was. And at 180gr, plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings, this now stands as the undisputed definitive version.

Hoodoo Man Blues, which features Buddy Guy on guitar, is not only Junior Wells’ first LP appearance, it’s damn near the first LP by a Chicago blues band. Chess and a few other labels had reissued 45s by Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Howlin’ Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Elmore James, etc., but virtually no one had tried to capture the Chicago blues sound free of the limitations of jukebox/airplay promotion. Hoodoo Man Blues went a long way in the popularization of real Chicago blues and of Junior Wells.

Originally released in 1965.

The lacquer for this LP was cut by Stan Ricker using the state-of-the-art Wilson Audio Custom Tube Mastering system, recently acquired by AcousTech Mastering, a joint venture between Acoustic Sounds and Record Technology, Inc. The system was further upgraded by the renowned Neil Muncy and installed at RTI’s production facility in Camarillo, California. With one of the world’s finest plating and pressing facilities located in-house, the lacquer was processed within minutes of being cut, before any degradation to the delicate grooves could occur. Test pressings generated immediately following the plating process, were meticulously inspected visually, and carefully auditioned, before the stamper was approved for use in a limited production run of records.
