The Definitive Buddy Guy

"George "Buddy" Guy (born July 30, 1936, Lettsworth, Louisiana) is an American blues guitarist and singer. Critically acclaimed, he is a pioneer of the Chicago blues sound and has served as an influence to some of the most notable musicians of his generation, including Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
In the 1960's Guy was a member of Muddy Waters' band and was a house guitarist at Chess Records. He can be heard on Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor"and Koko Taylor's "Wang Dang Doodle" as well as on his own Chess sides and the series of records he made with harmonica  player Junior Wells.
Ranked 30th in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time", Guy is known for his showmanship on stage: playing his guitar with drumsticks or strolling into the audience while playing solos. His song "Stone Crazy" was ranked 78th in Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time." (Wikipedia)

'Definitive' may be a bit over- the- top in it's claim, but generally this is a good single CD compilation of Buddy Guy's material between 1958 and 2001 even for a seasoned collector ( and 'Stone Crazy' is included here !) . It contains most of his best and better known 60's efforts and is a pleasing mix of new and old, studio and live. Full musician credits etc are shown in the scans provided.
 His later Silvertone recordings like 'Damn Right I Have The Blues' are excellent and are selling well - If there is a demand I shall post one/some...
In the Blues spectrum Buddy is at the extremity, his vocals and particularly his guitar are intense and wailing but always heartfelt and authentic. Once heard or seen - never forgotten- Enjoy   .
