BUDDY GUY WITH JUNIOR MANCE AND JUNIOR WELLS Buddy And The Juniors (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series 2025 limited edition 7-track stereo LP. A raw, rootsy, and electrifying collaboration between three Chicago blues legends - Buddy and the Juniors returns to vinyl as part of the Verve/UMe Acoustic Sounds Series. Originally released in 1970 on Blue Thumb Records, this essential session brings together Buddy Guy (guitar), Junior Wells (vocals/harmonica), and JuniorMance (piano) in an unforgettable stripped-down acoustic setting that crackles with soul and spontaneity. Produced by a young Michael Cuscuna, the session was captured in a single day in December 1969 and has become a cult favourite for its loose, in-the-moment feel and unvarnished power. Highlights include a spine-tingling take on "Hoochie Coochie Man," the searing "Buddy's Blues," and the gritty slow-burn "Five Long Years." This isn't blues perfection - it's blues truth. Remastered from the original analog tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings, this edition is housed in a deluxe Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket - offering the highest fidelity reissue treatment.
