BUDDY GUY...A Man And The Blues (1968)
A Man And The Blues was released 45 years ago in 1968. I will have to give this a 4 out of 5 stars. I have really enjoyed some of Buddy's recent releases so for today I thought we'd check out one of his classics. Let me tell you I picked a wonderful album. I had never heard this record before from this blues legend and I actually was not surprised by how good it is. The highlights are his version of the "Money (That's What I Want)", "Just Playing My Axe" and "Worry, Worry." Highly recommended. The other thing that I loved about the record is the sound on it. The sound quality that was available in '68 was magnificent. I'm old school, I know, but it works great with all those old records
