LIKE Hemi-Ram said get the CD/DVD CAN:T QUIT THE BLUES and if ya have an extra (.99 pick up his latest album SKIN DEEP won BEST BLUES ALBUM OF THE YEAR AND HE WON BEST CONTEMPORARY BLUES PLAYER OF THE YEAR

THE ALBUM IS FANTASTIC...what I like most about it is in the linear notes they tell you what ax and amp BUDDY is using....VERY COOL IDEA>

Plus the ALBUM gets better and better every time ya listen to it.

MAN if this is your first time hearing BUDDY GUY man you have missed THE BEST OF THE BEST.
That's why the CAN:T QUIT THE BLUES is such a great CD it has all his best on it !!!

Come to Chicago in January, he plays all month at his club, "Legends"
www.buddyguys.com

I love Buddy . . . but Chicago in January?!

Not exactly Florida......but....the club experience is worth it. He plays about 16 shows in January. I've seen him play in large venues and at Legends, the club show is not to be missed. He's 73 and well preserved but this won't last forever. Most of the players I admire are over 60. I'm trying to catch as many as I can again live before they can't go anymore or they leave the physical world......I don't take them for granted.

Buddy played with Muddy, influenced Clapton and Hendrix.....

I hear you. I've seen Buddy several times here in FL, but I missed B.B. King every time he came to town which was almost always New Year's Eve on Miami Beach. Finally caught him a couple of years ago at the Seminole Hard Rock with Chaka Khan and Al Green. Would like to see Clapton, Magic Slim, Otis Rush, and attend a Clapton Crossroads show if he ever has another.

One of the best.

Thanks for the suggestions

I have four CDs from different artists on my list now but I cheated and bought a Howlin' Wolf CD because it was cheap and I just had to have a CD with "Smokestack Lightnin'" and "Little Red Rooster"
