Performer: Buddy Guy
Distributor: BMG (distributor) Notes: This live set features the great Chicago blues guitarist Buddy Guy performing some of his best-known material, as well as covers of other classic blues songs, in both electric and acoustic settings. Included are searing versions of "Talk to Me Baby," "Hoochie Coochie Man," and "Key to the Highway," the latter a masterly display of folk blues guitar.
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.
