Our Take

Ah, Junior Wells - the man, the myth, the harmonica legend. His latest album, Blues Brothers, is a rollicking good time from start to finish. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a smoky Chicago blues club, where the drinks are flowing and the music is as smooth as silk.

Wells' signature gritty vocals are in top form on this record, perfectly complemented by his masterful harmonica skills. The backing band is tight as a drum, laying down grooves that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time.

Standout tracks like "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "Messin' with the Kid" showcase Wells' knack for storytelling and his ability to make even the most well-worn blues tropes feel fresh and exciting. The album's production is crisp and vibrant, capturing the energy of a live performance while still feeling polished and refined.

Blues Brothers is a must-listen for any fan of the blues, or anyone looking to inject a bit of soul into their music collection. Junior Wells proves once again why he's considered a true pioneer of the genre, and why his legacy continues to endure to this day. So grab a drink, settle in, and let the music wash over you - you won't be disappointed.
