Product Description
Amazon.co.uk
Trying to boil down a prolific 40-year career into 18 songs is an impossible task, but that doesn't stop Rhino from taking a shot. To its credit, this single-CD compilation reaches across many labels, highlighting Guy's explosive work for Chess and Vanguard in the 1960s, Atlantic in the 1970s, and diverse labels in the 1980s. On the other hand, his Chess and Vanguard work deserve significantly more attention than they're given here. In addition, Guy's rejuvenated 1990s work for Silvertone is completely ignored. The result is a rather cursory overview of Guy's career, despite the high quality of what is present. The benefit of this approach, however, is that it displays Guy's versatility: The Guy of feverish guitar pyrotechnics, wailing vocals, and rocker intensity lives alongside a smoother, more soulful and melodic Guy. --Marc Greilsamer

It would be easy to fill 3 CDs with Buddy's greatest works but his one is still a good selection. I've owned some of this material in the past on vinyl but wanted a digital copy as it contains some of my favorite tracks. The sizzling live "First time I met the blues" is from the very rare 'Chicago Blues' film soundtrack and almost worth the price of the CD along (check out Youtube for the video that goes with it). Some of the other tracks are hard to get now too making this even more worthwhile. Talking of prices, Amazon's own is a bit steep, I used one of the other suppliers under the 'New' link and got it cheaper.

This really is a great album and worth buying just for the live version on "the first time I met the blues" which in my humble opinion is the greatest blues song of all time (Live version). For those looking for a more aggressive Buddy Guy with soaring guitar solos then they would be better to look at some of the later stuff such as Stone Crazy!!!

In my opinion Buddy Guy is the best blues guitarist around at present. If you want to purchase just one cd of his, this is surely the one. Absolutely brilliant!
