Junior had a set of pipes that even James Brown would envy, he could really belt them out, and Buddy is just being Buddy one of the all time greats

[@scottsutherland9126]

Junior's got some serious moves going on during Buddy's solo!

[@blakegregory969]

Each of these guys was amazing on their own. Then when they got together... Holy Hell!!! This is some superhuman stuff right here.

[@williammills3632]

This is some of Buddys best guitar work ever. Junior and that band are tight and loose at the same time. Fantastic

[@theherbpuffer]

Buddy's my biggest inspiration as far as older blues players go, but I'm sorry Rory Gallaghers version is just something else

[@bretmiller317]

If you like this you will love hi smell a rat now that is some bad ass guitar playing

he really got his own style of riffing behind cats..

[@stevendenton5281]

Love this track not just blues but the funk within it.

[@tuckercarlsonsmicropenis1283]

Hell YES!! Junior Wells, awesome, I’m not ashamEd to say that I discovered Messin’ With The Kid from Briefcase Full Of Blues, which was the entire POINT of The Blues Bros, they were doing for the blues guys they loved the same exact thing Cobain was doing in the early-nineties, he didn’t understand why so may people loved HIS music when there was so much “better” music in his record/tape/cd collection, and he so badly wanted to share that with the world…Call it Musical Colonialism if you want, don’t matter, it’s all just sounds coming out of a speaker. If it moves you, it’s good. Anyway, The Blues Bros at least hired a freakin AMAZING BAND, and even if the covers on BFoB are good due to the simple fact those guys could fuckin PLAY (yes, the F word is necessary, don’t like it?, FUCK OFF, milquetoast), the very fact that that album pushed people to discover artists like Junior Wells and Floyd Dixon and Delbert McClinton makes it an unqualified success, all the musical and film “sequels” notwithstanding…

[@crustycobs2669]

Badass song, great vocal and harp. Buddy Guy, one of Hendrix's inspirations. Solid blues with a beat

@@blues4stevie Start with that song off of live in Europe..Also I Wonder Who off of Irish Tour 74 as far as straight electric blues goes. I recommend going through his whole discography really. At the end of it all id be surprised if you didnt consider him one of the greats as i do now. Arguably the most underappreciated artist ever; He should be in the same conversation as Hendrix, Page, Clapton in my opinion.

[@ichbinvegetarische7471]

I heard a Steppenwolf song lately that rips off the great bassline to Howlin' Wolf's "Killing floor". I was thinking of that bassline when I remembered the bassline to this song, which Steppenwolf turned into something called "Tighten up Your Wig". The song even says "Just before we go, I'd like to mention Junior Wells. We stole this thing from him, and he from someone else." Alright, great! I'm gonna start playing this song.
