Founder of Chicago's legendary Chess Records, Leonard Chess, once called Buddy Guy's live guitar shows as "motherfucking noise." Years later, as Buddy Guy was touring England and leaving lasting impressions on young rockers Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart, and the Rolling Stones, Chess would regret not releasing any of Buddy Guy's 'noise.' According to Guy, after he left Chess Records ...

Happy Birthday to "*Buddy Guy*":http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:kiftxq95ldke, born on this day in 1936 in Lettsworth, Louisiana. Jimi Hendrix stated that Buddy Guy was a huge influence on his playing, and Eric Clapton has called him the greatest blues guitarist ever (hence my cheekiness in the post title). With Muddy Waters as a mentor, and the likes of Freddy King, Magic Sam and Ot...

Perhaps the most important blues musician still touring today (I'd say tied with B.B. King) is Buddy Guy. Without a doubt the best showman to ever play the blues, and the biggest influence to all the rock guitar guys from the late 60's early 70's. Eric Clapton said "Buddy Guy was to me what Elvis was for others.He is by far and without a doubt the best guitar player alive...if you see him in ...

Saw Buddy at The Bank of America Pavillion in Beantown this wknd. Would have liked to have seen some of his older tunes, but his new stuff sounded great live. He played a real short set. I really hope it is due to the fact that he is 72 years old and wanted to play early that he did not headline, because it's a crime to have him open for George Thorogood. I like Georgey, but fuck, he made a liv...

Saw Buddy last night in Manchester and I can safely see it was the most incredible and soulful performance I have ever experienced. I've seen him many times but last night he was on a whole nutha level again using the incredible acoustics of the symhony hall to draw every last ounce of tone from his guitar.
