Surfgod, I agree the tribute thing has gotten old and seeing him live isn't what it used to be. He is getting old almost 70. Although the last time I saw him he did an acoustic show for the release of Blues Singer, we were front row center it was great.
New Buddy Guy - "Blues Singer"
Anyone else heard this? "Blues Singer", named in tribute to Muddy Water's "Folk Singer" which Buddy played on. This is a fantastic cd. The recording is excellent. I turned it up to a somewhat loud(so says my wife) level, and from the first moment of the first song, "Hard Time Killing Floor", it sounded as if Buddy were in my living room. This album is acoustic with five songs featuring only Buddy on guitar/vocals and Jimbo Mathus on guitar. The second song is John Lee Hooker's "Crawlin' Kingsnake". It has Eric Clapton and BB King as guests. That's right - BB King acoustic. Highly reccomended!
