Performer: Buddy Guy
Producer: David McLees (Compilation) Distributor: Sony Music Entertainment Notes: The label- and era-spanning anthology THE DEFINITIVE BUDDY GUY lives up to its title, painting as spot-on a portrait of the legendary Chicago blues axeman as one could ever want in a single disc. It includes both his soul-on-fire slow-blues masterpieces ("A Man and the Blues") and his full-on barn-burners ("A Man of Many Words") and covers his long solo career as well as his fruitful collaborations with singer/harmonica man Junior Wells. As the tracks move through the years, you can hear blues history in the making.
Dirty Linen (p.47) - "THE DEFINITIVE BUDDY GUY showcases 17 of Guy's best tracks, spanning from his 1958 single, 'Sit and Cry (The Blues)'...to his cover of Junior Kimbrough's 'Baby Please Don't Leave Me'..."
Living Blues (p.60) - "[T]he selections on the present collection hold together remarkably well, offering listeners a truly comprehensive tour of his expansive career, with 17 stops along the way from 1958 to 2004."
Eric Clapton once called Buddy Guy "the greatest blues guitarist ever." Guy, along with contemporary Magic Sam, took the sounds of Chicago blues of the 1950s and ratcheted them up a notch, in the process creating a new form of controlled blues mayhem. Born in Louisiana, he moved to Chicago as a young man in 1957 and served an apprenticeship with Chicago blues king Muddy Waters while getting his own solo career underway. Guy's frequent collaborations with harmonica player Junior Wells are among his best work.
