Eric Clapton once said that Buddy Guy was the greatest living guitar player. Stevie Ray Vaughan said that without Buddy Guy, “there would be no Stevie Ray Vaughan”. Jimi Hendrix said that “heaven is lying at Buddy Guy’s feet while listening to him play guitar”. He has been called the bridge between the blues of Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf and rock and roll, and has influenced pretty much everyone who ever picked up a guitar since the 1960’s. So, why isn’t Buddy Guy the biggest star on the planet? His career began in the late 50’s, and because his solo music was heard as “noise” by his label (Chess), he was reduced mostly to the role of session player. The solo recordings he was allowed to make were mostly attempts at conventional soul. By the end of the 60’s, his time had passed, and he was pretty much ignored until the blues revival of the 80’s. But man…this boy could (and still can) flat out play.

This Is Buddy Guy was really the end of his early career. Recorded in New Orleans, this 1968 live album does a decent job of capturing the energy of his performances…although the quality is pretty poor (it was 1968). The best moments are when Guy burns on the guitar, but there just aren’t enough of those to make this a great album. The horn section is nice…but man, hearing Guy in a power trio setting on these songs would have been the real treat. What could have been one of the greatest live recordings ever ends up being a pretty average affair, and maybe one of the reasons why Guy faded away not long after this was released. It’s great that he was eventually rediscovered, but we lost a lot of great years where he went unheard. The more soul oriented content doesn’t exactly showcase Guy’s main strength, and there’s too much time spent waiting for that next great flash of guitar, and not enough blues. Still a nice document from the time, but don’t expect a whole lot here.
