Junior Wells: Live In Boston 1966

I have no clue where Delmark Records did find these previously unknown live recordings. The recording quality is surprisingly good, especially when regarding the age of the tapes. This set delivers an intimate look behind the curtain in a small east coast club. Backed by one the greatest Chicago blues bands, ever, The Aces, this performance shows Junior in fine shape. There are a couple of well-known songs like 'That's All Right' or 'Messin' With The Kid'.

As the '50s waned and the '60s dawned, he'd rolled with the musical punches, and adapted his style to the more pop and soul-orient-ed sounds then emanating from the black Chicago music scene.

Behind him, a legacy of classic blues rooted equally in the southern traditions of Junior Parker, Sonny Boy Williamson II, and the gritty urban sounds of Muddy Waters, Little Walter and others. In front of him was a doorway into funk, soul, and slick horn-laden R&B, already ajar and just waiting for him to push through. So when he went to play Boston in September of 1966, it would have been completely natural for him to
