Readers of this space may be aware that over the past year or so I have gone to great lengths to highlight some of the blues greats that I was doggedly devoted to as a kid (and still am) and who helped form in me, and others from my generation, the Generation of '68 as well, an important musical component as we fought our political battles for a more just society. The names of Lead Belly, Josh White, Son House, Muddy Waters and the like easily come to mind.
And then in a whisper in the back of the brain comes- don't forget Buddy Guy. Well, of course. The Chicago blues branch of the blues tree would not be complete without recognizing what every serious blues artist of the time recognized- here was a master. This CD only goes to prove the point. Electric guitar, acoustic guitar, solo, with Junior Wells, as a backup to others and so on Guy did it all. Even with all-star help here this is strictly Buddy's gig. That's why there was that little whisper.
So what is good here? Well, how about the super-blues classic "Rollin' and Tumblin'", the wild "High Heel Sneakers" and the sensuous "Sally Mae". Listen and see if you agree.

Buddy Guy is a killer electric guitarist, but this album shows off how truly great of a guitarist he is. Just acoustic guitar and harmonica with Buddy signing, worth more money then they are charging.

This product meets expectations any fan of the blues could ask for, content and cliarity are very good. If you are looking for a warm feeling old style blues ( circa 1940's to early 50's) this will satisfy anyone who enjoys the blues of older times and the twelve string rifs are impressive to say the least.
