"He was for me what Elvis was probably for other people... My course was set, and he was my pilot" - Eric Clapton

An Evening with Buddy Guy

Any discussion of Buddy Guy invariably involves a recitation of his colossal musical resume and hard-earned accolades. He¹s a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a chief guitar influence to rock titans like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck and Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago¹s fabled West Side sound, and a living link to that city¹s halcyon days of electric blues. His first three albums for Silvertone‹the 1991 comeback smash Damn Right, I¹ve Got the Blues (reissued in 2005), 1993¹s Feels Like Rain and 1994¹s Slippin¹ In‹all earned Grammy Awards. Suddenly, it was cool to like Buddy Guy. For Guy, it was like being a new artist. And now, the story continues with Bring 'Em In, which finds the 69-year-old Guy trading licks with the likes of Carlos Santana (I Put a Spell On You) and John Mayer (on the Otis Redding-penned I¹ve Got Dreams to Remember).
