The title of this CD is somewhat misleading in it's reference to the "Best of Buddy Guy" since ten of the eleven songs featured here were recorded between 1960 and 1966. The only exception is 'Talkin' 'Bout Women" which was recorded in 1970. What you really get here are arguably some of the best songs which Buddy recorded for Chess in the early days of his career. While all of the numbers essentially feature Buddy's fiery guitar and strained vocals the last song "Talkin' 'Bout Women" features an early collaboration with Junior Wells were Buddy plays an acoustic guitar and Junior sings and plays his harp. If you are looking for a "Best Of" CD you are going to have to look elsewhere. Overall, a good historical reference on the early career of Buddy Guy and some pretty good covers of some Willie Dixon materal.

Can this Guy play the guitar or what. An excellent starter that gives a taste of his early stuff.

thus is a collection pf the early days of buddy guys blues days.this is all pre 1990,there are songs like let me love you baby and my time after awhile that where covered by tommy castro and stevie ray
