BUDDY GUY
"Damn right I got the Blues" the (unofficial) home of Buddy Guy on the WWW The Buddy Guy - Junior Wells alliance was unbeatable with Juniors powerful vocals and harp playing perfectly complimented by Buddy's amazing, intricate guitar work the duo were unstoppable producing hit after hit. Buddy held this alliance until the late 1980's when he opened his own club "Legends" in Chicago and went solo.
Shortly after "Legends" opening Buddy was asked by Eric Clapton (who can be
quoted as saying "Buddy Guy is the greatest guitarist alive") to perform
with him in a Royal Albert Hall show in London. The impressive performance
by Buddy got him signed onto Silvertone Records with which he has released
a series of hit albums over the past few years including Damn right I got
the Blues, Feels Like Rain and Slippin' In. Continues:

Buddy Guy @ All-Music Guide Buddy Guy - Heavy Love CD 1998 When it comes to galvanizing a crowd, there are few bluesmen on earth who can rock a house like Buddy Guy; not even earthquake-resistant amphitheaters are immune to his powerful showmanship, and in the open air of outdoor blues festivals, he's been known to play guitar as if he's trying to scare the sky itself. His emergence in the '80s and '90s as one of the blues' true superstars has been one of the great success stories in the history of the genre.
