Look how Junior Wells laid out all the fire on stage instantly. His voice and harmonica hit my soul real hard. I wish the camera showed a bit of Buddy because man was he cookin! Greatest form of true music - blues.🙏
I've witnessed many great shows... Early 90s,small auditorium at Burlington VT. George & The Destroyers Fukin Killed It!!! They rocked wide open for about 4hrs without letting up! I am sincerely grateful to George,The Destroyers & The Rock Gods for having been fortunate enough to have witnessed that experience!!!
I used to watch Jimmy when he was with Storm at. The Onenite , and later with The Fabulous Thunderbird's, this was back in 1975 and later , Stevie was playing with Paul Ray and The Cobra's with Denny Freeman and I think Keith Ferguson and Mike Buck , Austin Texas was great, you could eat at Casita Jorge's or El Patio then catch some great music at The Armadillo World Headquarters or The Hole in The Wall , Austin was great
In the early 70's I had an album titled, "Chicago the Blues Today" including Junior Wells, JB Hutto and his Hawks and others. I think I got it from some record club in New Zealand. I doubt that they have record clubs anymore!
What was that "Thing" Buddy was wearing? I'm an idiot, Buddy played here in Sydney in early 2023 and I didn't go. Apparently in his 80's they said he won't be coming back. Dam!
Junior was a true legend. Buddy is still a living legend. They played with most of the greatest blues musicians in history. Junior had a one of a kind presence. His vocals were for me almost to Muddy and Wolf's levels and his harp playing was among the very best. He was in the words of ZZ Top, a very sharp dressed man at all times. He was also a wonderful and kind man who loved his fans and everyone around him. I was so lucky to be able to see him many times at Theresa's, his home club. I lived 20 minutes away. The cover was $1. Those were among the very best nights of music in my entire life. Thank you Junior, Sammy Lawhorn, James Cotton, John Primer, who is another living legend, Phil Guy, and all of the incredible musicians of that eta. Junior and Cotton would sometimes play on Wednesdays, with each doing their own sets. The South side and entire city of Chicago was a magical place for music.
We may have crossed each others' paths. I too was a frequent visitor at Theresa's. I lived 5" North and always enjoyed seeing him on stage & in the audience. One name that sticks out the most is Muddy Waters Jr. I don't lnow if he was related, yet he pit on a very good show.
I absolutely LOVE Susan Tedeschi!!! I've seen Tedeschi Trucks Band like 11 in Philadelphia & Camden NJ!! PLEASE come back to Philadelphia or Camden NJ SOON!! #RedheadTTBhead #RedheadSThead 🎤🎸🥁🎵🎼🎶
There was a singer named Kathi McDonald that she sounds like a reincarnate of. And Janis Joplin was my first concert in Tampa with bb king. This girl has won my heart and respect over to her can't get enough I'm sorry that it took so long to find out about her. And yes what a contrast in her singing and talking voic. I absolutely love her
Why "touch"? It's not a race or a hierarchy, it's music. Both played à lot, but a lot, together and were complementary. But they are a lot of Bonamassas on the market and they all play thousands of notes very very well.
As I understand it Jimmie wants the guitar he gave Stevie but he doesn't know where it is. I do. It's on display at The Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle. I've got photos of it and I see it on a regular basis. They have guitars that belonged to a lot of people. Jimi Hendrix, Clapton etc. The guitar Jimmie wants back is a Fender Broadcaster. He gave it to Stevie in 1966. Nice.
