In 1969, guitarist Buddy Guy got together with his old Chicago blues pal Junior Wells, added in jazz pianist Junior Mance, and cut a loose, “unplugged” session for Blue Thumb Records that would become the now-legendary album Buddy And The Juniors.Buddy and the two Juniors were relaxed, cutting familiar tunes like Willie Dixon’s “Hoochie Coochie Man” and their own off-the-cuff originals, including “Buddy’s Blues.” Additionally, two improvised tracks were recorded in a single burst of creative energy: “Talkin’ ‘Bout Women Obviously” and “Riffin’”, all making for a fresh, inviting, and inspiring album.
