I saw Buddy Guy play at the Hammersmith Odeon, London back in the mid '70s. I was amused by the expression on Buddy's face when he played the guitar: it looked like he had been 'kicked in the balls'.Quote:

Great album. Gutsy, full of soul. Amazing guitar playing on this one to back up that voice.

Years ago I watched the Ken Burns documentary History of Rock and Roll, and he highlighted the Chicago blues influence on early British rock bands -- Rolling Stones, Zepellin, Clapton and his gang. He contrasted the two by playing back to back tracks and the similarity was remarkable. Apparently the British guys really studied that style and took to it wholeheartedly. Pretty cool how this style influenced the biggest rock bands in the world.Quote:
