Junior Watson’s Live from Outer Space is the third release on the Blue Beat Music label. The album was recorded live at the 2007 Torre Alfina Blues Festival. Watson is backed by one of this month’s featured artists The Red Wagons. This is the first live Junior Watson album of his career and, in my view, the best representation of his musical sensibility. It is an album that is virtually impossible not to enjoy. Most of the tracks on this CD have been staples of Watson’s live sets for years. I selected one of my favorite slow blues tunes of all times and yet another instrumental, Blues After Hours. My jukebox has dozens of versions of this tune that include many variations and permutations of this simply sublime classic including several renditions by Pee Wee Crayton himself. This take is my current favorite of this instrumental standard. That is saying a lot.
