First time listening to the above - Chess LPs 45rpm - with a young Buddy Guy also playing. Absolutely fantastic album and wonderful sound quality - reminds me why I love vinyl.
Yes, absolutely - music first and foremost. I am a huge buddy guy fan having seen him play at Glastonbury in the UK in the mid nineties and then again a few years ago in Brazil. Great to hear him at a young age playing with Muddy Waters.
I just hope we continue to see some great bluesmen in the future but I cannot see the future ever producing a John Lee Hooker or another BB King or a Buddy Guy or going back further Muddy etc. I guess part of it is a generational thing - these guys really came from humble beginnings and had so much to say when they played - maybe I am being unfair on the newer talent coming through.
Thanks Bryon - I will check these out. Can these all be obtained on vinyl? Any particularly good pressings? Another blues album I strongly recommend is Alone and Acoustic - Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. The final track of the album is a particular favourite. I only have this on CD.
