Every Day I Have the Blues is a live album by blues musicians Buddy Guy & Junior Wells. It was first released in 2000, but re-released a few more times, with alternative titles and alternative covers.[1]
Recording
The recording date is questionable. Although the title of the album’s 2003 release is "Chicago Blues Festival 1964", but you can read in the liner notes by Athan Maroulis, that "these live recording from the mid-seventies".[2] Both of them are impossible. They played Richards/Jagger’s Satisfaction, which was first recorded by Rolling Stones in May 1965. In the mid-seventies they didn’t play with two sax players, and the sound is less modern. So it is assumed, that this show was recorded in the second half of the sixties.
Releases
It was first released in 2000, titled "Every Day I Have the Blues" by Purple Pyramid.[3] It was re-released in 2003 by three alternate labels. One of them was titled "Live at the Mystery Club",[4] the other one was titled "Chicago Blues Festival 1964" and included three more studio tracks from the Buddy Guy catalogue as bonus.[5] Also released in 2005 by Master Classics, titled "A Night of the Blues".[6]
