An enormous influence on these musicians as well as Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck, Guy is the living embodiment of Chicago Blues. This title tells Buddy's story, which stands at the absolute nexus of modern blues.
"* "Buddy Guy was to me what Elvis was for others... [he] is by far and without a doubt the best guitar player alive." (Eric Clapton) * "[Buddy Guy] plays from a place that I've never heard anyone play. Buddy can go from one end of the spectrum to another. He can play quieter than anybody I've ever heard, or wilder and louder than anybody I've ever heard." (Stevie Ray Vaughn) * "Geez, you can't forget Buddy Guy. He transcended blues and started becoming theater. It was high art, kind of like drama theater when he played." (Jeff Beck) * "Buddy Guy is an absolute monster." (Jimmy Page)"
Buddy Guy was born in in 1936 in Louisiana. Considered among the best blues guitarists alive today, he lives in Chicago. David Ritz is the co-author of many best-selling autobiographies of musicians, including Ray Charles, Etta James, and more.
