Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Junior Wells earned his reputation as one of the kings of Chicago blues harmonica. He played with Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, The Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, Van Morrison and others throughout his career, and was responsible for the classic song Messin' with the Kid. On this DVD, Junior demonstrates cross-harp technique, changing keys, bending, cupping, vibrato, and much more as he sings, plays and shouts through classic blues songs accompanied by a trio including Arlen Roth himself. Any serious blues harmonica player will love this opportunity to learn from a legend!

1.0 out of 5 stars Junior Wells makes no sense, I think he's in the later stages of either alcoholism or dimensia (the poor soul), December 22, 2009

Clearly there is something ineffable about music, and clearly there things about music which cannot be imparted or rationally understood, but the babbling incoherent moron in this video does a truly superb job of making NOTHING understood!! His mind may have been present at one point in his life, but it is surely gone in this video. My advice to you if you wanna learn the blues harp is to look at a good spread of you tube videos. Let them teach you. But don't rely on this weirdo's ramblings to be in any way pedagogical.

junior was one of the best. so sad that his life ended 10 yrs. ago. i like watchin the video for entertainment but if you want to learn something you better pass this one up. completly useless for any level of harp player. no instructional lessons at all. just some jammin with arlen roth.
