Mojo (Publisher) (6/96, p.113) - "...[Guy] revisits vintage Chess material and more recent Silvertone songs with equally fiery results. Prodigal with both voice and guitar, on slow blues...or strutting uptempos...Buddy Guy performs out of his skin and into another [Grammy] nomination."
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.
