Play The Blues [LP]

Buddy Guy & Junior Wells - Play The Blues [LP]

Play the Blues is a 1972 album by blues legends Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, recorded for Atlantic Records. Featuring a stacked supporting cast including Dr. John on piano and members of the Rolling Stones' touring band, the album blends Chicago blues grit with a loose, jam-oriented Southern rock feel that was distinctive for its era.

Guy's searing guitar work and Wells' harmonica and vocals had already made them one of the most formidable duos in blues by the time of this session, and Play the Blues stands as one of the definitive documents of their partnership, capturing the raw chemistry between two of the genre's greatest players.
