Hoodoo Man Blues is the debut album of blues vocalist and harmonica player Junior Wells, performing with the Junior Wells' Chicago Blues Band, an early collaboration with guitarist Buddy Guy. Released on LP by Delmark Records in November 1965,[1] the album has been subsequently reissued on CD and LP by Delmark and Analogue Productions.
The album of Chicago blues music was solicited by Bob Koester, the founder of Delmark Records, who liked Wells' music enough to give the musician considerable freedom on the album despite concerns of commercial response. The resultant innovative album became Delmark's best-seller, establishing Wells' career and receiving critical acclaim as being among the best albums Wells ever produced and among the greatest blues albums ever made.
