About this album
Play The Blues is a taut Chicago blues set that showcases the fiery chemistry between Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. Released in 1972, it pairs Guy’s sharp, expressive guitar with Wells’s rugged harmonica and vocals, giving familiar blues forms renewed bite and momentum. The album draws on classic material such as T-Bone Shuffle and Messin’ With the Kid, but it is the duo’s live-wire interaction that gives the record its force. For listeners, it stands as a strong example of early-1970s electric blues: rooted in tradition, yet driven by two masters who could make every phrase feel immediate and alive.
