Until it was finally closed down in 1994, Chicago's Maxwell Street was the home of one of the world's largest open-air markets. It was a shopper's paradise, a junk hound's Mecca; it was a place where people from all parts of Chicago met on equal terms; it was a con man's hunting ground, a tourist's stroll; it was a place to save souls, and it was a place to play the blues.
Junior Wells talks about Maxwell Street in an interview with Tokyo-based blues writer Allan Murphy.
