Buddy Guy

Rating: NNNN


Using Muddy Waters’s tastefully understated Folk Singer album as a conceptual guide, blues great Buddy Guy offers a remarkably spare unplugged session built around the resonance of his voice and acoustic guitar. B.B. King and Eric Clapton stop by for brief cameos, but by the time Guy feels his way through the work of Skip James, Son House, Robert “Nighthawk” McCullom and John Lee Hooker, the chills down your spine will tell you he doesn’t need any celebrity help.
