New Buddy Guy - "Blues Singer"

I too found this a disappointment but he is still one of the best and will continue listening to his early works

Interesting footnote: The recording engineers rented the vintage microphones from the company that recorded the "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack. This from an interview with Buddy in Blues Revue. Makes me want to check out sonic similarities b/n the two recordings . . .

To me, "Blues Singer" is Buddy's best album in years, and the sonics are excellent.

Love the CD. Any other acoustic blues cd like this one?????? any suggestion anyone??? thanks

Firstly, let me state that Buddy Guy is perhaps one of the best blues guitarsts alive. I found his Blues singer a bit of a let down compaired to one of the greatest albums ever Sweet Tea. I will also state that I saw both shows in NYC and quite a few were disappointed at the blues singer show. At the sweet tea show people were more than cheering,
they were gasping. They did not believe that anybody can be this good. Buddy Guy himself commented that he will no longer look at the song list, or alloted time per track. He
knew something special was going on. Acoustically, Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, "Alone & Acoustic" is by far better. I
urge every Buddy Guy fan to go out & get Sweet Tea, but beware you will expect this kind or preformance from him all the time.
