Buddy Guy celebrates his new recording contract with Silvertone by setting out his stall from the very first track - the title which features some exceptionally fiery guitar playing and there's some lovely fluid guitar playing all over this album. As well as this facet Buddy Guy shows his softer - more "bluesier" side on "Five Long Years" and "Black Night" - the two longest tracks on the album. The album features a stellar cast of guitar greats - Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Mark Knopfler but Buddy Guy's guitar burns the brightest of them all. There's an odd cover here of "Mustang Sally" which is taken a tad slower than normal but works well. The last track - "Remembering Stevie" is in homage to the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan and is a beautiful ... Read More:

This is a great collection of Buddy Guy's Chicago recordings, & they really hit the spot. The guitar playing is wonderful, but not as wild as it should have been due to views of taste from the time!
This is still a superb CD and well worth getting. >>More Details |

Buddy's Baddest: the Best of Buddy Guyby: Buddy Guy May 07, 2001 |

This overview of Buddy Guy's Silvertone recordings ought to be titled "Some of the best of Buddy Guy's 90s tunes, and a few throwaways as well", or something along those lines. The first ten songs are almost all good, but the four previously unreleased songs aren't among Guy's best work, and since almost all of the previously released material here is taken from just three albums, there is really no good reason to pick up this mediocre sampler. Go with "Damn Right I've Got The Blues" and "Slippin' In" instead, and perhaps the "Feels Like Rain" album, from which "She's Nineteen Years Old" and of course "Feels Like Rain" are taken. Only one track comes from the forgettable "Heavy Love", which is actually a credit to the compilers, and the last ... Read More: >>More Details |

I had another title, "a misguided pop album from a talented bluesman", but in the end I just went with the above. This is not blues, people. Have you actually heard blues music? This is like people calling Eric Clapton's post 1995-albums "blues" because they've heard that Eric Clapton is a blues guitarist. Used to be, guys. Used to be.
Sure, Buddy Guy plays some smouldering lead guitar on songs like "Somebody's Sleeping In My Bed" and "Cut You Loose", the two best songs on the album by far, but unfortunately there are two or three mediocre or downright bad songs for every good one here. A pretty good cover of "Ninety Nine and a Half (Won't Do)" and a nice "The Price You Gotta Pay" featuring Keith Richards, side by side with a complely misguided, ... Read More: >>More Details |

Being a true Buddy Guy fan it is unfortunate for me to give this album only 2*, this is because I do not feel his strengths are given proper room to blow you away. Instead of his usual blistering blues guitar work complimented by his deep melodic voice, you are presented with a more swing/jazz type of album with a high voiced Buddy, ok if you like that sort of thing but if your're looking for the Buddy Guy that Jimi Hendrix and Clapton loved. He is not on this album.

It's nice to hear Buddy make an album which isn't drowning in backing orchestration for a change. Instead he returns to basics with just himself, an acoustic guitar, a few bass instruments and a selection of friends there to add a bit of their own guitar work - Eric Clapton and BB King for example.
This album contains excellent vocals from Buddy and great guitar playing too. The style of a lot of these songs is similar to early 30s and 40s blues, so it's nice to hear that style again but without the scratchy recordings and with a modern twist (modern in a blues sense that is). Admittedly some of the songs towards the end seem a bit samey but this is still a great album with some great songs; I would rank Lucy Mae Blues as one of my favourites. (It has ...

Blues fans know all about Buddy Guy's talent but they also know about the inconsistency of his albums. Rest assured that buying this one will not be a let down. From the first note to the last this album is a treasure filled with some of the most sublime guitar playing that you'll ever hear, of any genre. Personal highlights are One Room Country Shack, A Man And The Blues, Mary Had A Little Lamb and the song that got me hooked on Buddy in the first place(he played it live as guest at a Clapton gig), Money (That's What I Want). >>More Details |

Buddy Guy is accompanied by the Saturday Night Live house orchestra on this album, and that unfortunately includes a completely redundant and sometimes annoying horn section. Fortunately, though, Buddy Guy himself is in the spotlight most of the time. His playing is strong and focused (well, on most tracks it is), and he gets superb backing from former Chuck Berry-pianist Johnnie Johnson. Guy plays rhythm and lead guitar equally well (some blues guitarists, like B.B. King, literally can't play a chord), his voice is still powerful in spite of his advancing years, and he plays excellent renditions of "I've Got My Eyes On You", "Talk To Me Baby", "My Time After Awhile" and "Let Me Love You Baby" in particular. "Live - The Real Deal" may not be perfect, ... Read More: >>More Details |
