	Buddy Guy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Buddy Guy (born George Guy, July 30, 1936 in Lettsworth, Louisiana) is an American blues music and rock music guitarist, as well as a singer.
		Guy was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 14, 2005 by Eric Clapton and B.B. King.
		Guy’s career and fame were held back by both conservative business choices made by his early record company and “the scorn, diminishments and petty subterfuge from a few jealous rivals.” Chess Records, Guy’s record label from 1959 to 1968, refused to record Buddy Guy’s novel style that was similar to his live shows.

		Guy's legend looms large throughout this city that originally adopted the blues from it's dusty Delta cradle, and raised it in her backstreets - that is, any backstreet that you could plug an electric guitar and amplifier into.
		Guy finished out his three-week stint on Saturday, January 30, and although the show was slightly flawed by some minor technical difficulties, he left the crowd satisfied with a slew of stunning cover songs, many which he transformed into his own, as well as some of his better known signature tunes.
		Guy stole this old performance trick from the master and worked every fan-clustered corner of his club before he flung open the door to a wintry Wabash Avenue and proceeded to play his guitar down the block, giving outsiders a brief taste of what was going on inside the club.

	Buddy Guy + Shemekia Copeland - PopMatters Concert Review
		Guy quoted from the songbook of Muddy Waters with a rendition of "Hootchie Cootchie Man", unleashing a piercing slide guitar assail and declamatory howl that made the crowd forget Waters' passing in 1983.
		Guy's band's obvious reverence for his status as living legend was matched by their impressive ability to turn on any dime Guy laid down.
		Guy was more than happy to give each of them ample chance to shine, encouraging solos throughout the night and trading licks and chops with the keyboard, guitar and saxophone.

	a Tribute to Buddy Guy
		Buddy Guy is an international treasure, a bold and no-nonsense reflection of our better selves as well as the worthy artistic ancestry we drawn upon.
		George "Buddy'' Guy was born to farmer/woodcutter Sam Guy and the former Isabell Toliver in the family's tiny bungalow in Lettsworth, La., July 30, 1936.
		Guy insisted he'd improve, and the next night his pal Raymond Brown ran to a grocer's and prepared a "potion" for Buddy consisting of a bottle of wine spiked with an antiseptic remedy, Dr. Tichenor's elixir.

	Amazon.com: Sweet Tea: Music: Buddy Guy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		On his new album, Buddy Guy looks to the same source for inspiration; seven of the nine songs here are written by Fat Possum's hill-country blues roster, including T-Model Ford and Junior Kimbrough.
		Guy effectively pre-eulogized a style of blues (Northern Mississipi) that is sadly dying with the rural culture and raw lifestyle from which it was born.
		Buddy Guy is still vigorous for his age and starting the album with the "old man" song; then breaking into some of his heaviest playing ever over a militia drum-beat proves his point.

	Buddy Guy
		While at Chess, Guy worked long and hard as a session guitarist, getting his licks in on sides by Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Koko Taylor (on her hit "Wang Dang Doodle").
		Guy's reputation among rock guitar gods such as Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughan was unsurpassed, but prior to his Grammy-winning 1991 Silvertone disc Damn Right, I've Got the Blues, he amazingly hadn't issued a domestic album in a decade.
		But Guy, whose club remains the most successful blues joint in Chicago (you'll likely find him sitting at the bar whenever he's in town), is without a doubt the Windy City's reigning blues artist -- and he rules benevolently.

		High-energy guitar histrionics and boundless onstage energy have always been Guy trademarks, along with a tortured vocal style that's nearly as distinctive as his incendiary rapid-fire fretwork.
		Buddy and Junior toured together throughout the '70s, their playful repartee immortalized on Drinkin' TNT 'n' Smokin' Dynamite, a live set cut at the 1974 Montreux Jazz Festival.

		For this recording session Buddy Guy has returned to his roots and used a recording studio called Sweet Tea, the Oxford, Mississippi studio, is also owned by the producer of this album, one Dennis Herring.
		Guy's guitar playing still holds those hints of Hendrix and SRV that prove he didn't stop buying records with his first appearance on Chess in the 50s.
		Guy has resisted the temptation to show off too much either in the 'I know Eric Clapton' or the 'I can play guitar very fast' fashions that have been the flaws in many of his previous albums.

		Some truth, then, about Buddy Guy, playing Tuesday at the Jube with Tony D and David Gogo in the band as part of the Jazz City International Music Festival: The story of his success follows more of a country singer's path than anything.
		In the late '50s, when Buddy Guy was just cutting his chops as a guitarist with Big Poppa John Tilley in Baton Rouge, La., he used to get such bad cases of stage fright that he had to chugalug a mixture of Dr. Tichenor's antiseptic and wine just to get up on the bandstand.
		Buddy is a 63-year-old whirlwind, stalking the stage with the energy of men half his age, never hitting a bad note and always -- always -- offering up a storm of tasteful licks and soulful vocals.

	InternetEd Reviews: Buddy Guy- Sweet Tea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		However, with Sweet Tea, Buddy Guy has made a record that retains the earthy sounds of classic blues while keeping a reasonably clear and representative production, making for a record that is spirited and blazing—put simply, Sweet Tea is blues to the core.
		Buddy Guy’s wailing guitar provides an intoxicating experience on “Tramp,” which is absolutely mystifying, and “She Got The Devil In Her” is an excellent raunchy blues romp complete with all the grit that makes for a genuine ‘true blues’ experience.
		All in all, Buddy Guy’s Sweet Tea is a fiery, gritty, and ultimately energetic blues masterpiece that should not be overlooked.

		In case there are any other Buddy Guy afficiandos around here, I wanted to bring your attention to the following recordings, which are the best blues recordings I've heard in a long time--it's Buddy Guy live at his own club in Chicago, throughout the month of January, with his working band, in well recorded sound.
		Question: I heard a Buddy Guy tune on the radio the other day - it was Buddy playing acoustic guitar (no other accompianment) and singing a lot like Muddy - and doing a Muddy tune - "I LOVE THE LIFE I LIVE".
		My favorite Buddy sides are his Chess recordings (at least most of them), along with the sides he cut for Artistic in the late 50's.

		Buddy played the Cyber-Twin the entire show and his comment to Mark afterwards was "That thing has tone!"

	Buddy Guy / Slippin' In
		Unlike some other Buddy Guy + Guest Star combinations of the past 20 years, where Guy does nothing else than compete with his guest in technical virtuosity, these five live recorded songs have Buddy Guy joining forces with Jonnie Johnson.
		The remainder of the album follows the same spirit : Buddy Guy and the Double Trouble band do not try to bring Vaughan's unique style back to life, nor does Buddy Guy try to replace the late Stevie Ray Vaughan - he wouldn't need that kind of "honors" anyway.
		Slippin' In is Buddy Guy's best album of the decade, by far; it is in fact one of the strongest contemporary blues albums of the last quarter-century.
