A classic recording by one of Chicago blues' finest living legends, Left My Blues in San Francisco consists of 11 smoking tracks, featuring Buddy Guy's matchless guitar work and equally distinctive vocals. This recording is for people who like their blues straight up; like whiskey, it burns all the way through. Included are some of Guy's classic original songs, such as "She Suits Me to a Tee" and "I Suffer with the Blues," as well as excellent performances of "Buddy's Groove," "Keep It to Yourself," and "Goin' Home." All of this material can also be found on the Complete Chess Studio Recordings collection, but if you're new to Buddy Guy, Left My Blues in San Francisco is an excellent place to start. --Genevieve Williams
From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
Leonard Chess didn't appreciate Guy's studio raucousness, and the guitarist only recorded sparingly as sessions leader during his last years at the record company, l96~67. Most of the eleven songs on his first long-player, issued in 1967, belong stylistically to the era's soul boom; Guy fervidly muscles out of hot, busy orchestrations designed by Chess men Gene Barge (most recently a singer with the Mellow Fellows) and Charlie Stepney (Earth, Wind and Fire's producer in the 1970s). Too often attitude replaces conviction, although "I Suffer with the Blues" and "Leave My Girl Alone" seem fraught with ardor. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993
