Junior Wells Featuring Buddy Guy - Pleading The Blues (1993)

Note: the album was recorded and released in France in 1979, then released in the US in 1993 with a CD bonus track.

You buys your albums and you takes your chances. And, well, they can't all be good. In this case, the problem is the plodding material, not the performances.

Liner notes by John Anthony Brisbin.
