Our Take

In the pantheon of blues legends, few names shine as brightly as Buddy Guy. With a career spanning over six decades, Guy has established himself as a master of the genre, blending soulful vocals with fiery guitar work that leaves audiences in awe.

The "First Time I Met The Blues - 1958-1963 Recordings" takes us back to Guy's early days as a young upstart in the Chicago blues scene. From the moment the first notes hit your ears, you can't help but be transported to a smoky juke joint, surrounded by the sounds of clinking glasses and shuffling feet.

Guy's raw talent is on full display here, as he effortlessly moves from slow-burning ballads to uptempo barnburners with ease. Tracks like "Stone Crazy" and "Ten Years Ago" showcase Guy's virtuosity on the guitar, while his soulful vocals tug at your heartstrings.

But what truly sets Guy apart is his ability to inject his own personality into every note he plays. His playful sense of humour shines through on tracks like "What Kind Of Woman Is This" and "Worried Mind," adding a touch of levity to the sometimes heavy subject matter of the blues.

In a world where music seems to be constantly evolving, it's refreshing to revisit the roots of the genre with an artist like Buddy Guy. The "First Time I Met The Blues" is a testament to Guy's enduring talent and serves as a reminder of why he remains a beloved figure in the world of blues music. So grab a glass of whisky, dim the lights, and let Buddy Guy transport you to a time when the blues reigned supreme.
