Our Take

BUDDY GUY - As Good As It Gets

The legendary blues guitarist, Buddy Guy, is back with a new album that’s as good as it gets...literally! This collection of tracks showcases Guy at his absolute best, delivering some of the most soulful and electrifying blues guitar playing of his career.

From the moment you hit play, you’re transported to a smoky juke joint in the deep south, where Guy’s guitar wails and weeps with every note. His distinctive tone cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter, leaving you spellbound and begging for more.

Tracks like “Damn Right I’ve Got The Blues” and “Feels Like Rain” showcase Guy’s masterful songwriting skills, with lyrics that tug at the heartstrings and melodies that stick in your head long after the music has stopped. And the guest appearances from legends like Eric Clapton and Keb’ Mo’ only add to the album’s star power.

But it’s not all serious blues business here – Guy also knows how to have a good time. Tracks like “Mustang Sally” and “She’s Nineteen Years Old” bring a playful energy to the album, with Guy’s infectious enthusiasm shining through in every note.

If you’re a fan of the blues, or just a fan of great music in general, then As Good As It Gets is a must-listen. Buddy Guy proves once again that he’s a true maestro of the guitar, and this album is a testament to his enduring talent and spirit. Go on, give it a spin – you won’t be disappointed.

Buddy Guy

Buddy Guy: The Living Legend of the Blues If blues music had a Mount Rushmore, you can bet your last dime that the craggy face of Buddy Guy would be etched into it. Born In Lettsworth, Louisiana back in 1936, this man has lived and breathed the blues for over eight decades, and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. With a style that's as fiery as his trademark polka-dot shirts, Buddy Guy cuts a figure that's equal parts showman and soulman. His guitar playing is a thing of wonder, a lightning storm of notes and emotions that can move you to tears one moment and have you stomping your feet the next. Throughout his long and illustrious career, Buddy Guy has shared the stage with everyone from Muddy Waters to Eric Clapton, and has influenced a generation of guitarists with his distinctive sound. But don't let his age fool you - this man can still shred with the best of them, and his live shows are the stuff of legend. With a discography that includes classics like "Sweet Tea" and "Born to Play Guitar," Buddy Guy continues to push the boundaries of the blues genre, never content to rest on his laurels. His music is a testament to the power of the blues, a genre that has the ability to transcend time and race, and speak to the depths of the human soul. So next time you find yourself in need of a little musical salvation, look no further than the one and only Buddy Guy. This man is a national treasure, a living legend, and a testament to the enduring power of the blues. Long live Buddy Guy!
