In a very unfair fashion, Buddy Guy is very often forgotten when talking about the guitarists that truly made history, even though the ever-growing list of people he influenced includes Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones. He was part of the second generation of Chicago Blues musicians (23 years younger than Muddy Waters) and worked as a recording artist alongside harmonica player Junior Wells. His playing is nervous, stinging and sweet at the same time, and even as he approaches the age of eighty he continues to please crowds.
