The story behind
The song Early in the Morning is one of the standout tracks from Junior Wells' debut album, titled Hoodoo Man Blues, released in November 1965. This work was recorded with the collaboration of the Junior Wells' Chicago Blues Band, where the renowned guitarist Buddy Guy played a significant role. The song lasts 4 minutes and 44 seconds, and its sound captures the essence of Chicago blues, with an energetic and authentic performance.
The album was produced by Bob Koester, founder of Delmark Records, who trusted in Wells' talent, giving him creative freedom despite doubts about its commercial appeal. This confidence resulted in an innovative album that not only became Delmark's best-selling release but also established Wells as a key figure in the genre. Critics have hailed Hoodoo Man Blues as one of Wells' finest works and consider it a milestone among great blues albums. The combination of Wells' harmonica and Guy's guitar creates a musical dialogue that resonates with listeners, making this song an unforgettable experience for those seeking to connect with the deep legacy of the blues.
