This album is a bombshell to the ears, one of those aces that from time to time Delmark Records takes up the sleeve An inspired bursting Junior Wells backed by the best Chicago blues band of any time, The Aces The album was recorded ‘live’ in Boston in 1966 and it overflows swing, vitality, magic, intensity, color and lots of delightful charm Junior feels inspired, but the backing work of Louis Myers on guitar, Dave Myers on bass and Fred Below on drums is brilliant, vibrant, superb and captivating The selected repertoire is extremely good, with songs like Junior Parker’s Feelin’ Good, Worried Life Blues from Big Maceo Merriwater, Junior Whoop from Junior Wells himself -an amazing seven minutes song-, That’s All Right from Jimmy Rogers, Look On Yonder’s Wall from Arthur Big Boy Crudup and the classic Messin’ With The Kid, among other precious gems Blues from top to bottom, eternal blues, blues where you can breathe the most dense, original, passionate and real atmosphere like true life stories Ten points for an album that deserves an outstanding place in any blues collection
