Our Take

If Pitchfork reviewed Buddy Guy's "The Blues Is Alive And Well," it might go a little something like this:

Buddy Guy, the legendary blues guitarist, has proven once again that age ain't nothin' but a number with his latest album, "The Blues Is Alive And Well." At 82 years young, Guy's energy and passion for the blues seem to be never-ending.

From the gritty guitar riffs to the raw, soulful vocals, Guy proves that he's still got it in spades. "A Few Good Years" kicks things off with a powerful punch, setting the tone for the rest of the album.

Tracks like "Bad Day" and "Guilty As Charged" showcase Guy's signature style, blending traditional blues elements with a modern twist. The guest appearances from artists like Keith Richards and Mick Jagger only add to the star power of this album.

While some tracks may feel a bit formulaic, Guy's undeniable talent shines through on every song. His guitar playing is as electrifying as ever, leaving listeners wondering how he manages to make those strings sing so sweetly after all these years.

Overall, "The Blues Is Alive And Well" is a testament to Guy's enduring legacy in the world of blues music. With this album, he proves that he's still the king of the genre, and long may he reign. So grab a glass of whiskey, kick back, and let Buddy Guy show you why the blues truly is alive and well.

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!
