  1. I don't know or listen to the blues much if at all, but I stumbled across this NPR Tiny Desk concert by Buddy Guy and couldn't stop listening. Wow. Bonus appearance from Miles Caton of 'Sinners' fame.

  2. Buddy Guy on Tiny Desk Concert!!!!
    I’ve seen him live a couple of times and he’s up there for me with the best concerts I’ve been to.

    Love him.

  3. #BuddyGuy displays a youthful spirit during his #TinyDeskConcert that makes you question if he really turns 90 this year. Once the #music starts, his subtle speaking voice transforms into a mighty instrument, demanding your attention. Guy wails on his polka dot Stratocaster, reminding us of his skill and showmanship. The title of his latest album, Ain't Done with the Blues, is not only apt but defiant.

    The elder statesman of #blues is the last standing among his fellow architects of the genre like B.B. King, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. Throughout his career, he has collected every accolade possible, including a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, a Kennedy Center Honors award and the National Medal of Arts. He recently took home his ninth Grammy Award, this time for best traditional blues album.

    His set starts with his rollin' 1991 classic "Damn Right, I've Got the Blues" and moves into "Hoochie Coochie Man," both songs a must for any Guy performance. Then newcomer Miles Caton exuberantly joins Guy to present a pair of signature songs from the 16-time Oscar nominated film, Sinners, in which both portray blues singer Sammie "Preacher Boy" Moore. But what kind of blues show would this be if they stuck to the script? Guy takes detours into the history of the blues, playfully challenging Caton to keep up. Caton proves to be more than up to the task, letting his own powerful vocals out to play. As Guy and Caton perform together, we see the journey of artistry, the interplay of a master teacher and a student.

  8. Junior Wells, Southside Blues Jam, 1970 on Delmark Records

    Junior Wells with Otis Spann, Buddy Guy (on sixe tracks), and Louis Myers (on 2 tracks), recorded Dec 30th, 1969 and Jan 8th, 1970.

    This was Spann’s last session before he died in 1970.

    We have tried to capture on this album what a listener would hear any Monday night at Theresa’s blues bar at 48th and Indiana o Chicago’s South Side. The Blue Monday regulars, including Buddy Guy . . . are joined by the late Otis Spann, the greatest blues pianist of his generation, making his last studio appearance and to whom this album is respectfully dedicated by Junior, the musicians, and – The Delmark Staff”

    My copy, via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN, is a 1990 reissue on blue Delmark labels with an insert advertising “best selling CD titles” with barcodes.
