Buddy Guy: Blues Singer verzia na vinylu 2LP v štandardný edícii. Toto konkrétne vydanie vyšlo v Európa vo vydavateľstve Music On Vinyl dňa 8. december 2017.

Buddy Guy's "Blues Singer" album is dedicated to John Lee Hooker. Although Buddy Guy is not known for his acoustic qualities, in this unplugged excursion into folk blues, he has taken a chance with an acoustic instrument. The guitarist goes back to basics and presents twelve tracks that sound as familiar as if he recorded them on his own patio or in his living room. His concise guitar melodies are as ever-present as his emotive voice. In an acoustic setting, however, both of these songs take on a whole new quality. Accompanied by minimalist bass and jazzy drums, Guy sounds almost possessed as he interprets cover versions of Skip James ("Hard Time Killing Floor"), Johnny Shines ("Moanin' and Groanin'"), Son House ("Louise McGhee") and John Lee Hooker ("Sally Mae"). "Blues Singer" as a whole is minimalist and unobtrusive, made for late nights and rainy days. Buddy Guy is at least as convincing here as he is on his electric albums, making "Blues Singer" one of his most insightful works. It's not for nothing that the album was awarded a Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album in 2004.

Album zasahuje do žánrov Blues a Country Blues. 2LP 180g Vinyl.

Blues Singer" - an album full of acoustic blues songs - is the 16th solo album by blues legend Buddy Guy, featuring 12 songs from the pens of semi-famous blues protagonists such as John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters. The 1963 album "Muddy Waters, Folk Singer," on which a young Buddy Guy played second guitar alongside the great Muddy Waters, now serves as an aesthetic model 40 years later. B.B. King (acoustic solo) and Eric Clapton (acoustic slide) play on Buddy's version of the John Lee Hooker classic "Crawlin' Kingsnake"; Eric also plays on "Lucy Mae Blues." Additional credits include Jim Keltner (dr), Tony Garnier (bass) and James "Jimbo" Mathus (guitar and slide guitar). 4 Grammy Awards, 19 W.C. Handy Blues Awards and a Billboard magazine Lifetime Achievement Century Award grace Buddy Guy's resume and document his accomplishments.
