Performer: Buddy Guy
Producer: Vince Hans (Compilation) Distributor: Welk Notes: Eric Clapton and John Mayer, as well as any artist who has topped a "best guitarists" list in recent years, owe a debt of gratitude to Buddy Guy, one of the original guitar heroes. His work is showcased in this excellent introductory disc culled from the Vanguard vaults. Highlights include his take on hits such as "Knock on Wood" and "Poison Ivy."
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.
