Hey ya'll.
Must listen to:Buddy Guy, Live at the Checkerboard Lounge
So awesome. I think Buddy is one of the best blues vocalists (blows away BB King in my opinion). The only thing I don't like about Buddy is sometimes I think he gets TOO into it and tries to play faster than he can, and the notes get too sloppy. But when he's got it he's really got it.
Thanks for all the recommendations.
Hey kramer I just saw Buddy and BB last night at Foxwoods..Buddy was smoking, he brought up this liek 12 year old kid that's on his new album and man this kid can play.
BB was a bit of a disappointment I think it's time for him to retire. The band was tight and sounded great but BB mostly talks and it barely seemed like he played much.
But Buddy was really raw and loud.
"It's all about stickin it to the man!"
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
you must have one of the best blues albums ever made. it is old. I have gone through two CDs listening to it.
get Hoodoo Man Blues. it's with the pairing Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. they had been partners in the early days. Buddy's playing on this album is his early stuff. quieter, cleaner, and way bluesy. so tasteful too.
coupled with Junior's harp[ playing they cover some great standards.
seriously...Hoodoo man Blues. I think it was released back in 64.
