MOG Editorial Review
Ranked on of the top 100 guitarists of all time by Rolling Stone, Buddy Guy is certainly no slouch. While Chess Records dismissed his music as noise, he continued undeterred throughout the early '60s, eventually meshing jazz and blues influences on this landmark LP. While his sound was not quite as new or novel by 1968, A Man and His Blues still goes toe-to-toe with his other masterpiece, 1965's Hoodoo Man Blues.

AMG Review of Man and the Blues
Bill Dahl
All Music GuideThe guitarist's first album away from Chess -- and to be truthful, it sounds as though it could have been cut at 2120 S. Michigan, with Guy's deliciously understated guitar work and a tight combo anchored by three saxes and pianist Otis Spann laying down tough grooves on the vicious "Mary Had a Little Lamb," "I Can't Quit the Blues," and an exultant cover of Mercy Dee's "One Room Country Shack."
