Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This guest-studded album relaunched Buddy Guy's career and set him toward the pinnacle of contemporary blues. Despite turns from Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler and others, it's Guy who burns brightest--and loudest. He delivers roaring, exuberant performances of classic R&B ("Mustang Sally"), old-time blues ("Black Night") and house rockers ("Where Is the Next One Coming From"). Most poignant, though, is his seven-minute instrumental "Rememberin' Stevie", which not only rekindles the fiery spirit of his own youth, but pays sensitive tribute to his late friend and admirer Stevie Ray Vaughan. This is the blueprint for Guy's current performing style. --Ted Drozdowski


From Amazon.com

Thanks to a long instrumental tribute to his late friend Stevie Ray Vaughan, and to a crowd-pleasing version of Wilson Pickett's "Mustang Sally," this album renewed the Chicago's blues legend's commercial power. After laying out his new straightforward credo on the title track, Buddy Guy improvises furiously on "Black Night" and "Five Long Years." Some fans say the album was one of the few times Guy truly captured his live fury on record, but this 1991 album didn't even try to do that. It was simply an attempt to expose himself to a contemporary blues audience, and it worked. --Steve Knopper

4.0 out of 5 stars A fine comeback, 8 Mar 2004
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Excellent production and mixing, crisp, clear sound, and a strong track list makes this one of Buddy Guy's strongest records, his second-best best latter-day album right behind 1994's pure blues CD "Slippin' In".

The track list spans classic electric blues, Memphis soul, and, well, John Hiatt. Guy's cover of Hiatt's "Where Is The Next One Coming From" is pretty good, but doesn't really add anything new to the song, and we don't really need another version of "Early In The Morning", especially not this rather bland one.
But there are highlights a-plenty nevertheless: Guy's eight-minute rendition of Eddie Boyd's classic "Five Long Years" is a delicious, smouldering slow blues, and he lays down a great "Mustang Sally" and a fine rendition of Big Jay McNeely's mournful "There Is Something On Your Mind".

Buddy Guy's expressive tenor voice suits the slow, tortured blues songs on this set very well, but he performs equally well on the powerful, swaggering title track and the mid-tempo "Too Broke To Spend The Night", two of his best self-penned songs for a long, long time. "Too Broke" in particular is strongly reminiscent of Guy's sizzling 60s recordings for Chess, and this spirited reading of Willie Dixon's "Let Me Love You Baby" is among the highlights as well.
There is an expanded edition out there which adds two bonus tracks, and while none of those are absolutely essential, they're not bottom-of-the-barrel scrapings either, so if you don't already have the original album, by all means, get the one with the bonus cuts on it. No need to buy it again if you do, though.

"Damn Right" is a really fine album, deservingly winning Guy an Emmy in 1991. The sometimes erratic veteran plays some tremendous electric guitar, and the self-penned material shows that Buddy Guy's muse is not spent after all.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a fantastic introduction to the work of Buddy Guy, 2 Feb 2002
By A Customer
I came across this title whilst searching for other Blues. The reviews were very enthusiastic, the price was right so I bought the disc. The reviews were "damn right", this is great stuff. Even better that he has Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Mark Knoffler guesting. This is the blues as it should be and I'm a convert to the "Guy". ("Damn good" delivery service from Amazon too)

5.0 out of 5 stars You better believe he's got it!, 24 Jul 2000
By A Customer
Mr. Guy is hot and smoking! This album sure puts the groove in blues - that rough, burnt voice, those steamy nights and that unmistaken, god given gift of truly feeling the music and shooting it up to the sky. For real. Enjoy.
