SE 3 Ep 10 Live Focus - Buddy Guy - Live The Real Deal

“As close as Buddy Guy's ever likely to come to recapturing the long-lost Chess sound. Cut live at his popular Chicago nightspot, Buddy Guy's Legends, with guitarist GE Smiths horn-leavened Saturday Night Live Band and pianist Johnnie Johnson in lush support, Guy revisits his roots on sumptuous readings of "I've Got My Eyes on You," "Ain't That Lovin' You," "My Time After Awhile," and "First Time I Met the Blues." No outrageous rock-based solos or Cream/Hendrix/Stevie Ray homages; this is the Buddy Guy album that purists have salivated for the last quarter century or so.”

With Buddys arrival in in Australia now just weeks away, I’m celebrating by featuring one of his greatest live recordings, the incredible Live – The Real Deal.

Plus tracks from Bonnie Raitt, Cash Box Kings, Eric Bibb, Jen Mize & The Rough & Tumble, Blues Arcadia, Rick Holmstrom and The Hollywood Fats Band.
