[Harp-L] Is Junior Wells over-rated?



According to the liner notes on the LP, Jr. showed up out of the blue  when 
Bonnie Raitt was recording her first album in the 1970's, which in  spite 
of the poor technical quality of the recording remains my favorite of  her 
works.  On the small handful songs in  which Jr. is featured, his playing is 
as appealing  and tasteful as anything you'll ever hear in the blues realm.   
 
Not that he didn't phone a lot of stuff in later in his career, but there's 
 no gettin' around the fact that the man could flat out play.
