5.0 out of 5 stars Chicago style blues at its best, February 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: DJ Play My Blues (Audio CD)

I've got almost every Buddy Guy CD there is, been to numerous shows, etc.., so I feel somewhat qualified to tell you this is an absolutely stellar CD. It focuses on what Buddy does best, playing the guitar, not singing or having other "guest artists" taking up space on the CD. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who loves Chicago-style blues. Buddy is a virtuoso on lead guitar and this CD displays his talents in a way not matched by any of his other CDs.

Buddy Gu's discography is really variegated and includes album waving from deep electric blues to rock - blues to acoustic cuts. This one, that is a reissue of an album recorded in Chicago in 1981, belongs to the first category. JSP have re-mixed the old material to surround sound and the result is stunning. The quality of sounds is superlative, however the most important thing is that the material included in the recording is absolutely marvellous! As quite rightly John Stedman states on the linear notes "Buddy cuts loose on every track with no concession to commerciality or radio friendly", this is a deep blues album played for lovers of the style with no intention to impress the big audience out there. In my opinion this must be one of the best album ever recorded by Buddy Guy (for sure the best I know), marvellous guitar work and superlative singing in a sequence of great blues songs played with great feeling. An important contribution to the excellent final result is given, without any doubts, by the great band playing with Buddy. His brother Phil share guitar duty and sings on tracks 9 & 10, Doug Williams does a fantastic job on rhythm guitar providing the right texture on which Buddy and Phil can develop their solos, while Mike Morrison on bass and the Chicago veteran Ray Allison on drums, provide a very solid and precise rhythm section. Very highly recommended to all the "real" blues lovers!

Brilliant. Sound is crisp. Songs are great, esp. dedication to T-Bone Walker. All types of blues here, from funky stuff to slow stuff. Highly recommended and one of my favourites.
