Buddy Guy
Blues Singer
(Release date 6/3)
Buddy Guy has drafted a pair of famous friends to join him on his latest album, "Blues Singer" on Silvertone Records. The acoustic set finds the blues legend joined by one of his contemporaries, B.B. King, as well as guitar great Eric Clapton.
Clapton is featured on the Frankie Lee Sims song "Lucy Mae Blues," while King and Clapton both offer guitar solos on the John Lee Hooker classic "Crawlin' Kingsnake." The latter song can be previewed on Guy's website at www.buddyguy.net
Other songs Guy recorded for the 12-track collection include Hooker's "Black Cat Blues" and "Sally Mae," Muddy Waters' "I Live the Life I Love," and Skip James' "Hard Times Killing Floor."
Drummer Jim Keltner (Bob Dylan, John Lennon), bassist Tony Garnier (Asleep At The Wheel, Dylan), and guitarist Jimbo Mathus (Squirrel Nut Zippers) back Guy on most tracks. "Blues Singer" was produced by Dennis Herring (Cracker, Counting Crows) at his Sweet Tea Studios in Oxford, Miss., the same combination that gave birth to Guy's acclaimed 2001 Silvertone release, "Sweet Tea."
