Buddy Guy - A Man & The Blues (1968)

Buddy Guy - A Man & The Blues, Vanguard Records, 1968

  Here is "THE" template for modern blues inspired performers!.  This album is the template for what musicologists refer to as the "second generation Chicago Blues".   Buddy's performance on his fender Stratocaster will transport you into a smoke filled seedy Chicago bar where the you will get the blues.   There are tons of great blues players and albums out there but this one is just kinda extra extra special.  One listen and you will know what I mean !
