Music reviews of On Tap
Music Review: let's have another round !
Rating: 5 Stars
"On Tap" is the finale grande in Junior's trilogy of Delmark releases spanning nearly a decade {1965-1974}. Of the three discs which Wells cut for Delmark, it's difficult to choose a personal favorite, but I might lean slightly towards this one, mainly because of the presence of guitarist Sammy Lawhorn. Lawhorn, an alumnus of Muddy Waters mid 60's early 70's band's was one of the windy city's most underrated blues guitarist's and he showcases his talent's tastefully here. Junior's content covering familiar ground on about half the tracks which I must admit made me hesitant about purchasing this disc, but to no availe, he gives them the Juniorized treatment, breathing new life into Big Bill Broonzy's or Jazz Gillum's {debateable} "Key To The Highway", Tampa Red's "You Gotta Love Her With A Feeling", Big Maceo's "Worried Life Blues", titled here as "Someday Baby" and St. Louis Jimmy's "Goin' Down slow". Each of Junior's Delmark releases seem to have thier own distinct flavor, on "Hoodoo Man Blues", it's earthy funkiness, with "Southside Blues Jam", it's the live and spontaneous feel which sets the tone, and on "On Tap", it's Wells, the always confident and ever consumate bluesman smoothly stepping forward to deliver the goods. with a sympathetic backing band including veterans Phillip Guy {guitar}, A.C. Reed {tenor sax}, Johnny "Big Moose" Walker {keyboards} and a solid rythmn section anchoring, there ain't a chance in hell that this train could derail! So savor the sounds of Junior Wells "On Tap".

Description of On Tap
Junior Wells held court at Theresa's Tavern at 4801 South Indiana on Chicago's south side. If Junior was in town, he was at Theresa's, a surprisingly small tavern several steps below street level with no bandstand, no ticket window, unreliable plumbing, an assortment of beer and liquor signs for brands the house never (or no longer) carried, and Christmas lights all year round. On Tap was conceived as an album that would emphasize Junior's Theresa's side, especially the uniquely creative musical partnership between Junior and Sammy Lawhorn.Blues CDs
