Biography: After decades of paying dues, Buddy Guy has emerged as the most heralded bluesman of his generation, a hugely influential guitarist and passionate, dynamic live performer. But Buddy started as a sideman, and toiled in the Chicago clubs for a decade before beginning his march to worldwide fame. Buddy began as a sideman in Baton Rouge, playing primarily with the late Raful Neal (father of bluesman Kenny Neal and an excellent bluesman in his own right). Seeking a record deal, Buddy came to Chicago in 1957 at the age of 21. He was “adopted” by Muddy Waters, who encouraged the young bluesman when gigs weren’t immediately forthcoming. Buddy’s first step forward was winning a legendary guitar contest at the Blue Flame on the South Side, when his combination of great playing and showmanship (his 100-foot guitar cord allowing him to wander through the audience and down the street). He quickly won a local reputation for his wild live shows, in the style of his first big influence, Guitar Slim. Later Buddy absorbed the smoother sounds of B.B. King, but Buddy’s tortured, high-pitched, gospel-influenced vocal style put him in a different category; he simply couldn’t (and wouldn’t) control the frenzy of his music.

He found his first recording contract with Eli Toscano’s Artistic label (Eli also owned the Cobra label, which broke Magic Sam and Otis Rush as major league blues stars in the 1950s). His two singles for Artistic were produced by Willie Dixon, but they failed to dent the charts. When Cobra folded, Buddy was signed by Chess where he continued his association with Dixon. His Chess singles like “The First Time I Met The Blues,” “Let Me Love You, Baby,” “My Time After Awhile” and “Stone Crazy” are now considered classics that first exhibited Buddy’s mature style, with his stuttering guitar work and on-the-edge singing. But again, Buddy didn’t receive the R&B radio play of his contemporaries, and he continued to work the South Side clubs as well as doing session work for Chess with Muddy Waters, Koko Taylor and others.

When the folk music boom of the 1960s began turning its attention to electric blues, Buddy finally found his audience. Pairing with his friend, harpist Junior Wells (with whom he had played for many years at Theresa’s Lounge), he recorded first on Junior’s classic HOODOO MAN BLUES album on Delmark and then on Vanguard’s CHICAGO/THE BLUES/TODAY series, which was one of the first blues recordings aimed at the young folk audience. Buddy won a contract with Vanguard, cutting his famed A MAN AND THE BLUES album. He hit the road, appearing with both Junior and on his own, electrifying folk and rock venues and touring the U.S., Europe and Africa (including a tour with the Rolling Stones). Eric Clapton named Buddy as his favorite guitarist. But even with all this fame and hundreds of live shows, Buddy couldn’t secure a major label contract during the ‘70s and ‘80s. He recorded extensively for English and European labels, both in the studio and live. His brilliant electric and acoustic (with Junior Wells) albums for the French Isabel label were issued in the U.S. by Alligator under the titles STONE CRAZY! and ALONE & ACOUSTIC. Finally, in the 1990s, Buddy got the break he was looking for. He was signed to the Silvertone label (distributed by the multinational BMG) and his fans Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck joined him for his DAMN RIGHT I’VE GOT THE BLUES CD. The album along with the accompanying video launched Buddy as a headliner, playing not only blues festivals but also major rock venues. He hasn’t looked back since then, cutting album after album of passionate, hard-edged blues and rock tunes, often with guest appearances by rockers. More recently, he’s recorded stripped-down CDs that have taken him back to his Deep South roots.

When not on the road, Buddy spends most of his time at his famous Buddy Guy’s Legends club, easily the top blues spot in Chicago, if not the world.

Buddy Guy - The Very Best of Buddy Guy - 1992

Product Description: Trying to boil down a prolific 40-year career into 18 songs is an impossible task, but that doesn't stop Rhino from taking a shot. To its credit, this single-CD compilation reaches across many labels, highlighting Guy's explosive work for Chess and Vanguard in the 1960s, Atlantic in the 1970s, and diverse labels in the 1980s. On the other hand, his Chess and Vanguard work deserve significantly more attention than they're given here. In addition, Guy's rejuvenated 1990s work for Silvertone is completely ignored. The result is a rather cursory overview of Guy's career, despite the high quality of what is present. The benefit of this approach, however, is that it displays Guy's versatility: The Guy of feverish guitar pyrotechnics, wailing vocals, and rocker intensity lives alongside a smoother, more soulful and melodic Guy.

Legendary Chicago bluesman Buddy Guy was one of the most progressive blues artists of the '50s and '60s who still maintained roots in the Windy City tradition pioneered by the likes of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and B.B. King. This retrospective examines several phases of the singer/guitarist's career, from his earliest demos in 1957 to his early-'80s recordings, with stellar examples of what made Guy a legend in his own time. "When My Left Eye Jumps" is a haunting 1962 recording of an eerie Willie Dixon composition, with pianist Lafayette Leake supporting Guy's telling of the superstitious tale. "My Time After a While" showcases the urgent, emotive vocal and piercing, rapid-fire guitar that were Guy's trademarks. The 1970 version included here of one of Guy's earliest singles, "First Time I Met the Blues" is a tour-de-force, an unforgettable, scorching portrait of a man who cannot escape from the dark side of life. There are so many great tracks to choose from in Guy's catalog that no compilation could ever be truly comprehensive, but this one comes incredibly close. THE VERY BEST OF BUDDY GUY contains recordings from 1958-1985. Live Recording

Review: The Very Best of Buddy Guy is a credible attempt to digitally summarize Buddy Guy's entire pre-Silvertone career on a single 18-song disc. It encompasses the guitarist's 1957 demo "The Way You Been Treating Me," two killer Cobras, four of his hottest Chess sides, a couple notable Vanguards, a pair of alluring Atlantics, and three tremendously unsubtle 1981 items from Guy's days with the British JSP label.

In 1957, Louisiana-born Buddy Guy won a talent contest in Chicago, scoring a contract with Artistic. After the label folded, Guy signed with Chess as a session guitarist and later as a solo act. His stinging guitar solos and impassioned vocals mark this sampler of his classic Chicago blues, recorded over four decades for Chess, Vanguard, Atco and other labels. Buddy Guy has had his own share of the blues as real as the songs he's written and performed. He has struggled to record his influential style of blues, which has inspired guitarists from Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robert Cray. These days, he's enjoying a well-deserved higher profile.

This is a taste of his best work. Standouts include When My Left Eye Jumps, This Is The End and two edgy versions of When I First Met The Blues. The Very Best of Buddy Guy features sessions with his brother Phil Guy, longtime associate Junior Wells on harp, Eric Clapton, Willie Dixon, Dr. John and Bill Wyman. It's digitally remastered, with liner notes by Bill Dahl.
