Guy, Buddy2015
Music
This quintessential collector’s edition contains 25 remastered studio tracks, consisting of a variety of the sensational early recordings Buddy Guy made for Chess, Artistic and USA Records between 1958 and 1963. Some of the material here isn't available on other collections, nor have these seminal numbers ever been previously compiled on one CD. This is an indispensable set which defines the exact nature of the Chicago electric blues style.
