Don't Start Me Talkin: The Junior Wells Story

This documentary delves into Junior Wells' career, showcasing his influence in the blues scene alongside his long-time collaborator Buddy Guy. As a prominent figure in the genre, Wells' work with iconic tracks such as "Hoodoo Man Blues" and "Messin' with the Kid" highlights his legacy as a successor to blues legends like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf.

While the film presents a wealth of historical material, it also faces criticism for its pacing and continuity issues. The first half of the 88-minute runtime struggles with excessive commentary and limited music, but it ultimately shifts focus to more engaging performances, including a live rendition of "Hoodoo Man Blues". This shift provides a more authentic experience of Wells' musical prowess and partnership with Guy, described by Dr. John as inseparable in their artistry.
