Alone & Acoustic is an album by the blues musicians Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, released in 1991.[1][2] It was recorded in 1981, in Paris, France, while the two were touring.[3][4]
The album has sold more than 100,000 copies.[5] Along with Damn Right, I've Got the Blues, it marked a return to commercial success for Guy.[6]
Production
The album was produced by Didier Tricard.[7] Guy played acoustic Guild guitars and Wells played harmonica; they both sang.[8][9][2] Guy wrote three of the songs, including the opening "Give Me My Coat and Shoes".[10] Ten tracks were originally released via an import album.[1]
Critical reception
Template:Music ratings Rolling Stone called Alone & Acoustic "reflective and subdued," writing that "a warm spontaneity runs through the album."[11] Robert Christgau praised ""High Heel Sneakers" and "Give Me My Coat and Shoes".[12]
The Orlando Sentinel determined that Guy's playing "on 12-and six-string acoustics is uncomplicated but as awesome as any daredevil run he has played on his Stratocaster."[13] The Chicago Tribune thought that "the extroverted Guy now sounds like a soft, lyrical Mississippi bluesman virtually singing to himself … Wells remains a strong, dramatic, post-Muddy Waters singer, but the intimacy of the setting leads to his widening his already impressive dynamic range."[14]
AllMusic wrote that "this is acoustic street-corner blues at its best, performed with incredible expressiveness, ease, and joy."[15]
