All Music Guide

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Buddy Guy collects the highlights of his work for Chess during the '60s, including "First Time I Met the Blues," "Let Me Love You Baby," and "She Suits Me to a Tee." Tracks like "When My Left Eye Jumps," "Stone Crazy," and "Leave My Girl Alone" also display the blazing, passionate style that quickly made Guy a force to be reckoned with in the blues world. Though this compilation clearly isn't meant to be a comprehensive look at his work, many would argue that it focuses on one of the highest points in his career, which makes it a good introduction to his music from that era.
