His frantic and frenzied bestsavage guitar and fiery vocals Rolling Stone
The famed wildman of Chicago blues. Powerful, spontaneous performances, frenzied vocals, incredible guitar. This is Buddy Guy. This 1981 album is the one that his fans rave about the album that finally captures the raw, almost-out-of-control guitar genius of Buddy. Its simply Buddy and his own touring band no studio musicians, no special guests: Just the solid skin-tight backing of brother Phil and one of Chicagos hottest rhythm sections. The tunes were cut in a studio in France, but they feel just like the last smoky set at the Checkerboard Lounge, Buddys own club in the heart of Chicagos South Side.
Its his frenzied live performances that have made Buddy legendary. First, during his years of residency at Theresas in Chicago, taking on every guitar player who passed through the Windy City. Then over a decade on the road with Junior Wells, barnstorming through the U.S., Japan and Africa, and touring Europe with the Rolling Stones. He devastated the Montreux Jazz Festival, with the Stones sitting in. Hes won the admiration of everyone who ever tried to pick the blues on guitar, from B.B. King to Eric Clapton. And always the question When will Buddy really cut loose like those blazing nights on the bandstand, and get crazy again on a record?
Heres the answer.
