Time for vinyl again and this time the double album of Buddy Guy and Junior Wels PURE RAW BLUES with recordings from the fifties, a pleasure to listen to again. Together with Frans Hoving I witnessed these blues giants at the Bluesestafette in Vredenburg Utrecht 1991. Goosebumps with the gangster of the blues harp Junior Wells in his beautiful black suit and white hat. Frans and I were very touched and never forgot it. Buddy Guy, a great guitarist, we saw perform several times in the Netherlands later. Unfortunately, Junior is no longer with us, he died far too early in 1998 at the age of 64, but fortunately he has left his mark on present-day blues harp players. I am very happy with his albums, which I play regularly and realize where the beautiful blues music comes from.
