Junior Wells • You're Tuff Enough



Another period of the veteran Chicago harp man's career that awaits CD documentation -- and one of the most exciting. Wells's late-'60s output for Bright Star and Mercury's Blue Rock subsidiary frequently found him mining funky James Brown grooves (with a bluesy base, of course) to great effect -- "Up in Heah" and his national smash "You're Tuff Enough" are marvelous examples of his refusal to bend to purists' wishes (though there's a glorious version of Bobby Bland's blues-soaked "You're the One" that benefits handily from Sammy Lawhorn's delicate guitar work). ~Review by Bill Dahl

Otro período de la carrera del veterano armoniquista de Chicago que espera la documentación del CD - y uno de los más emocionantes. La producción de Wells a finales de los 60 para Bright Star y la subsidiaria de Blue Rock de Mercury lo encontró frecuentemente explotando los funky ritmos de James Brown (con una base de blues, por supuesto) con gran efecto -- "Up in Heah" y su éxito nacional "You're Tuff Enough" son ejemplos maravillosos de su rechazo a doblegarse a los deseos de los puristas (aunque hay una gloriosa versión del blues de Bobby Bland "You're the One" que se beneficia cómodamente del delicado trabajo de Sammy Lawhorn con la guitarra). ~Revisión por Bill Dahl
