He's one of the best blues artists I know... You should really pick up this album:Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, 'Drinkin TNT and Smokin Dynamite'.Good find, though.. I'm not as familiar as his solo albums... he plays with a lot of other people.-C
I was in Tower the other day and "as an experiment" picked up a new Buddy Guy CD titled "Damn Right I got the Blues".
One of his latest CD's (if not the latest) Blues Singer is phenominal. This is Buddy's tribute to John Lee Hooker. Buddy drops the hard driving blues guitar and picks up an acoustic. He plays and sings his ass off. It could be his best release to date IMO. [\quote]I have several Buddy CDs and IMO I agree that this is his best to date
If you haven't already, you should check out Otis Rush and Luther Allison too.
Great Stuff! Glad I came across the CD and also glad I posted to get some more feedback Thanks!
Quote from: mojomanIf you haven't already, you should check out Otis Rush and Luther Allison too.I whole heartedly agree. Luther Allison is another fabulous Bluesman whos been kicking around for years. He plays and sings with the same intensity of Buddy.
Luther is not kicking around anymore....he died in 1997. But there's plenty of his music available, and he was a great performer (got to play on the bill with him in 70's...Kenny's Castaways, NYC). Check out...."Live in Chicago", "Soul Fix'in Man", and "Luthers Blues".[/list:u]His son Bernard is following in his footsteps....a few very good cds out.[/list:u]And another that you might check out....the Ice Man...Albert Collins.[/list:u]
