Down Home Blues is an album by blues musicians Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry recorded in 1960 and released on the Bluesville label.

AllMusic reviewer Bruce Eder stated: "the music itself stands outside of time. McGhee's strumming and singing have enough polish to pass as a commercial recording, but at its best, it's still sufficiently unaffected so as to be regarded as authentic country-blues. It's Terry's harp, however, that really pulls this body of music back to its roots ... the dominant elements of this album are the charm and honesty that Terry and McGhee offer, whatever their particular style on a specific song; they had portions of both to spare by the bucketload, which accounts for the 15 years that they held audiences in their spell". - Wikipedia

Junior Wells' Chicago Blues Band with Buddy Guy - Hoodoo Man Blues

What can you say about this classic?

One fun fact - Buddy Guy was originally given a pseudonym on this LP ("Friendly Chap") because Delmark (records) thought he was under contract to Chess, and they didn't want to ask/pay...

The Brain DJ tends to zig-zag through the songs in my head, so this morning it's the blues –

Corey Harris, "Feel Like Going Home" (1995)

That's a cover of a 1948 Muddy Waters song (B-side to "I Can't Be Satisfied").

MUDDY WATERS
The Best Of Muddy Waters
1958 Canada MONO Compilation

One slayer after another, and one of the most legendary musicians ever.

If you’re making a list of artists who are responsible for #rocknroll as we know it, your list is null and void if Muddy’s name isn’t on it.
That is a fact that cannot be argued.
Don’t embarrass yourself.

Long live McKinley Morganfield.

Junior Wells, It’s My Life, Baby, 1966 on Vanguard

Junior Wells’ sophomore album, released on Vanguard in 1966 after Hoodoo Man Blues came out on Delmark.

From the liner notes:

Some of this album, Junior Wells’ first solo record for Vanguard, was recorded in Pepper’s Lounge on Chicago’s south side, to get the feeling of a blues band working with its blues audience. The rest was done at Universal Studios in Chicago. The band at Pepper’s was Junior, harmonica and vocals; Buddy Guy, guitar; Freddy Below, drums; and Leroy Stewart, bass. For the studio sessions Walter Beasley was added on rhythm guitar and Little Al replaced Freddy Below on drums.

The combo of Junior and Buddy Guy makes for a classic 60s Chicago electric blues set.

My copy is the Vinyl Me, Please Classics reissue from 2024, with listening notes booklet by Francesca T. Royster. It’s a Craft Recordings released pressed at GZ Media.

"Hoochie Coochie Man" (originally titled "I'm Your Hoochie Cooche Man") is a #bluesStandard written by #WillieDixon and first recorded by #MuddyWaters in 1954. The song makes reference to #hoodoo folk magic elements and makes novel use of a #stoptime musical arrangement. It became one of Waters' most popular and identifiable songs and helped secure Dixon's role as #ChessRecords' chief songwriter. The song is a classic of #ChicagoBlues.

Among the most recognisable blues songs of the 20th century, "Smokestack Lightning" by #HowlinWolf deserves a sound museum all it's own. In it, I'd dedicate an entire room to #ChesterArthurBurnett's iconic #falsetto - as haunting, mysterious, and transcendent as anything my ears have ever heard.
