Apparently at tests of Sinners a common response to Buddy Guy was 'The old guy, who is that, more of him, he's a star'

his daughter lives in louisville so it's always on his touring schedule — saw him about a decade ago and he was amazing; played everyone's style dead-on: jimi, muddy, clapton, vaughan... give that man all the flowers now!

His ear is incredibly well-trained! He's astonishing, in all the best ways a musician can be.

junior kimbrough is my favorite bluesman, but guy's cover of kimbrough songs (sweet tea) is the absolute best.

"Done Got Old" is special. All those songs and performances are, but that's the one that for me.

i cant separate it from its next track, Baby Please Don't Leave Me... the way Done Got Old ends then builds into Dont Leave Me is hard af. there's not a better arranged musical sequence.

Song order is such a big deal on albums. I'm so glad these are placed together.

Listen to Buddy Guy. He's always been the real deal. Jimi Hendrix ditched a gig to play with the man.

This is grown folks' music, for staying up late with.

Yes, I love the video of Buddy Guy and BB King talking about first meeting & hearing Jimi Hendrix play. Of course Jimi idolized those guys and did them proud.

i recognized Buddy Guy immediately and that, for me, WAS the movie

that was an ingenious stroke that thankfully the clueless reviewers left out of their reviews
