I just downloaded that a few days ago but haven't had a chance to listen yet. Is it any good? Ilove both of them but think Keb would benefit greatly from the company of Taj.

It's fine. Maybe a bit smooth and overproduced for my liking but that's personal taste for ya.

I actually got to hear it last night and yeah, a bit too clean but still very likeable.

I always loved this LP (My original copy sounds great)... BUDDY GUY & JUNIOR WELLS -Drinkin' Tnt 'N' Smokin' Dynamite...

Ah I love that album! Must dig it out later. Saw Buddy live once. He had the audience eating out of his hand.

Was that the gig in the National Stadium? I dragged about six non believers to that gig and they all left converted!

Didn't Buddy Guy do one of the free gigs on College Green back when they used to get big name artists out for the Blues Festival every year? I actually think I missed him as I was flying to Paris, which would have made it 1996 I think?

I saw B.B.King there too and it was just great, the atmosphere was fantastic at those gigs.

No it was the one mentioned by Diapason. The Guinness Blues Festival. He left the stage and walked through the middle of the street stlll playing/talking/jiving/having fun. It was brilliant to watch.

Just been listening to Freddie King, I always loved the trio of albums he did for Shelter Records
