Last Time Around: Live at Legends in Bloomington, MN

Last Time Around -- Live At Legends
is a fitting farewell to the late, great
Junior Wells
and his partnership, friendship and kinship with
Buddy Guy
that lasted decades. The album is a historic release in many ways. It reunites two blues legends who began their unique association in the 1950s. The album was recorded live in March 1993 at
Buddy Guy's
world-famous Chicago blues mecca Legends, and it's an acoustic document of many classic songs that made both
Wells
and
Guy
legends in their own right, such as
"She's Alright"
and "I've Been There," along with other classic blues standards such as "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "Key to the Highway," all delivered with a looseness and power that define both
. It also marks the last time the two ever played together. ~ Matthew Greenwald
