BUDDY GUY AS GOOD AS IT GETS

Recorded between 1965 & 1972

Format:Flac



This retrospective of the blues guitar giant's work during his years with the Vanguard label should be well received by all fans of the genre. Buddy's tenure with Vanguard, 1965-1972, yielded a short list of quality releases. Some of the finest moments are now captured on this compilation issue and four previously unissued tracks are included. Guy's inimitable, blazing guitar work is well represented here as he smokes through slow blues and uptempo numbers. His adventurous outreach into the addition of horn sections, which his pre-Vanguard publisher, Chess, forbade, fuses his blues with jazz and soul. True Chicago legends abound on these selections, including the magnificent pianist A.C. Reed. The previously unreleased pieces "Slow Blues (instrumental)" and "The Dream" are especially tasty. The live version of 1968's "The Things I used To Do" gives impressive perspective to his on stage power, which continues unabated to this day. Buddy Guy's evolution from a session man in the 50's for Chess, through his more recent career triumphs in the 90's, are now well-chronicled by the inclusion of this 14 track compilation. One of the last of the living legends of the Chicago blues guitar sound is done proud on this disc.



Personnel includes: Buddy Guy (vocals, guitar); Wayne Bennett, Phil Guy (guitar); Junior Wells (harmonica); Donald Hankins, Aaron Corthen, Bobby Fields (saxophone); George Alexander (trumpet); Otis Spann, Junior Mance (piano); Jack Myers (bass); Fred Below (drums)
