"Messin with the Kid" is one of my husband's band's favorite covers. So is Hoodoo Man. I'd only listened to covers before and it's nothing compared to the real thing. Thanks for (re)posting.

The Blues Blogger does it again. Thanks brother for the memories. I remember every song you have posted in this article. No one, and I mean no one could turn it on like Junior Wells in his," Got MY Mojo Working." I believe that every time Mr Wells done a performance, it was much more than just a performance, it was a spiritual experience in his mind and heart and his fans could easily catch that selfsame spirit. Thanks again Blues Blogger for your hard work and dedication toward the memory of some of the greatest blues and jazz performers that ever took the stage.

Laurie - Glad the post made you smile :) And to everyone else so far, your comments are most appreciated. Thanks... Junior is on my list of all time favorites as well. I also love the fact that many people unfamiliar with Junior Wells are reading this... Cool stuff indeed!

I really enjoyed your post. The juxtaposition of Junior's bio with your family story was great. I grew up with some of the same music, and my late husband loved to play along to the blues. Clapton was his idol, but he revered all the greats and you made me think of him with a smile. Thanks.
