Description

The 2011 Grammy for best contemporary blues album was won not by a hellhound-pursued youth but by a hep septegenarian named Buddy Guy. The ace studio band is augmented with the Memphis Horns, Bekka Bramlett and David Grissom, and cameos from B.B. King ("Stay Around a Little Longer") and Carlos Santana ("Where the Blues Begins"). "One of the deepest cutting blues players around…. 'Living Proof' might be the Guy record you most need to round out your collection…. Buddy is unquestionably living proof that there is a blues god and he favors polka-dotted attire."—Sing Out! "Guy is still a menacing guitarist. On '74 Years Young,' he starts out acoustic, almost muted, as the singer measures how much time he’s got left. Then, about 90 seconds in, he cuts loose on electric guitar, not so much a solo as a bazooka blast of clustered notes. 'Thank Me Someday,' 'On the Road' and 'Too Soon' all give Guy plenty of room to make the ground shake, and 'Skanky' dispenses with vocals altogether so that Guy can make his ax swoop."—Chicago Tribune
