Customer Reviews

You Gotta Love Buddy!!
Wow!!! For just under eight bucks this CD is a steal! These are all tracks taken from his classic Chess Records period and they all smoke! When listening to a song like "Leave My Girl Alone" you can hear how he must have influenced the likes of Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin with the high notes he hits with such conviction and intensity. And that's talking vocals. Most people talk about his influence on the Guitar greats and that's all very true, but I'm sure he had an influence on singers too given what a great singer he was/is. What a performer! "My Time After Awhile" is another highlight with more strong vocals and smooth guitar work. "Worried Mind" was a surprise because I hadn't heard it before. Great song with Buddy's usual great guitar playing. At this point in time I'd have to say he's not only one of my all time favorite Blues guys but one of my all time favorite performers period. You gotta love Buddy!!!

Fantastic slice of the blues
This is a great collection of Buddy Guy's Chicago recordings, & they really hit the spot. The guitar playing is wonderful, but not as wild as it should have been due to views of taste from the time!

This is still a superb CD and well worth getting.

A legend.....each and every song a hit!
Buddy Guy is one of my all-time favorite bluesmen....and this is the album which started it all for me.

Listen to these songs and be changed. The album starts out with "Worried Mind", a relaxing blues tune, which shows the mellow side of Buddy Guy. Relax while you can, for some fiery vocals are not too far off! When Buddy sings "She Suits Me To A Tee" I honestly wonder at what point his vocal chords will snap. And when Buddy sings "I Cry And Sing The Blues" you are convinced that in fact he is crying and singing the blues. Listen to this album just once to hear one of the greatest bluesmen in history and no doubt you will be won over just as I was to Buddy Guy's music.

5 stars....a fantastic single disc compilation at a very inexpensive price. A must own for any blues fan.
I believe there is a 2-CD set out there of his Chess recordings, but do not think it is still available, except to buy it used.
