captured on his '90s recordings for Silvertone, but with albums like Muddy Waters's 1964 Folk Singer and his own 1967 solo debut A Man & the Blues on his résumé, Guy's status as a Chicago blues giant was assured long before his 1991 comeback Damn Right, I've Got the Blues. Nonetheless, that tune, the instrumental tribute "Remembering Stevie" (for the late guitar-slinger Vaughan), "Five Long Years," and the previously unissued "Miss Ida B" testify that at age 65 Guy still possesses rare depth and fire. His singing is big and soulful, capable of cheerleading a party or hurtling down to the depths of Delta blues heartache. His six-stringing remains wildly inventive and unpredictable, even on slight numbers like "She's a Superstar." And the inclusion of blatant stabs at the pop charts such as his "Midnight Train" duet with Jonny Lang take nothing away from the passion he puts into true blues performances like "I Need Your Love So Bad" and "Innocent Man," leftovers from earlier sessions that surface here. Baddest or not, this CD spotlights one of our greatest bluesmen in fine form. --Ted Drozdowski

impressive What Kind of woman is this.
**The Album**
1.) Now You're Gone
This track is a cover of a classic Curtis Mayfield track and starts with an ear catching guitar break which leads into the gut wrenching blues melody. In this version BuddyGuy manages to take a classic song and completely reinvent it to make it sound so original. An awesome cover version. His vocals and guitar playing are both awesome.
2.) Ninety Nine and one half
This is probably the least well known of the classic tracks on this album but this is a fine reworking of Wilson Picketts track. On this track Buddy's guitar playing is a lot like BB King but still keeping his own style. Buddy's authorative vocals are a pleasure to listen to and also have elements of another blues and soul great Solomon Burke.

Advantages: Great location, clean and tidy, helpful staff Disadvantages: Expensive for Thai prices, a little noisey at night depending on your room
Buddy Lodge
I booked Buddy Lodge for my very first visit to Thailand having had it recommended by a couple of people. I was travelling from the UK alone and was being collected at the airport, but wanted to stay for a few days in Bangkok before moving down to my new home in Hua Hin.
Location
The hotel is located on the very busy Koh San Road in Bangkok, which is a haven for travellers from all over the world and aptly nicknamed "the centre of the backpacking universe". The street is actually heaving all day and well into the night with stalls, tuk tuks and bars. It?s towards the top of the street and you are likely to get dropped on in your taxi at this end if you?re travelling from the airport.
The road is approximately 1km long which only spans a couple of blocks but is home to countless budget guesthouses ...
Advantages: Makes you realise just how cool Blues can be Disadvantages: The sound quality though not bad might put some people used to 'polish' off
I always forget just how much I like Blues until I start listening to it again, though it can be hard to find it really pure and passionate these days. I have a couple of other BuddyGuy albums; one early on, his recordings for Chess Records, where he was a session player and though his desire to do so, was never allowed to cut loose (a mistake the head, Marshall Chess, recognised late on in the sixties when the likes of Hendrix, Clapton et al were crashing to stardom). The other, Damn Right I Got The Blues, from the nineties never quite cuts it. So what a pleasure it was to stumble upon Live At The Checkerboard Lounge.
Live At The Checkerboard Lounge is not quite a purist album but it's pretty close. BuddyGuy was approached by JSP Records, then with virtually no catalogue to produce a live album, as Guy at the time could ...

Album Notes
Personnel includes: Buddy Guy (vocals, electric guitar); Johnny Lang (vocals, guitar); Bonnie Raitt (vocals, slide guitar) Jeff Beck (electric guitar); G.E. Smith, Neil Hubbard, John Porter, Johnny Lee Schell, David Grissom, Scott Holt, Jack Holder (guitar); Jimmy Powers (harmonica); Malcolm Duncan (saxophone); Sid Gauld (trumpet); Neil Sidwell (trombone); Mick Weaver (acoustic & electric pianos, organ); Reese Wynans (piano, organ, keyboards); Johnnie Johnson, Pete Wingfield, Bill Payne, Marty Grebb (piano); Ian McLagan (Wurlitzer piano); Greg Rzab, Tommy Shannon, David M. Smith, Chuck Domanico (bass); Richie Hayward, Ray Allison, Chris Layton (drums); Tony Braunagle, David Z. (percussion); Renee Geyer (background vocals); The Saturday Night Live Band. Producers: John Porter, Eddie Kramer, Buddy Guy, David Z. Engineers: Tony Platt, Eddie Kramer, David Z. Recorded between 1991 and 1999. In 1991 Buddy Guy teamed up with Silvertone Records, doubtless hoping for a piece of the action being enjoyed by John Lee Hooker following his career-reviving THE HEALER. Featuring a crack selection of backing musicians, DAMN RIGHT, I'VE GOT THE BLUES was liberally spiced with big name rock artists. The formula worked and Buddy Guy won many new fans. On the next two albums, FEELS LIKE RAIN and SLIPPIN' IN, the heavy friends were gradually phased out in favour of fine ensemble work. Tellingly, of the four tracks chosen from DAMN RIGHT, only "Mustang Sally" has a stellar contribution (from Jeff Beck). The three songs selected from FEELS LIKE RAIN include the lovely title track, written by John Hiatt and featuring Bonnie Raitt on slide guitar. SLIPPIN IN' benefited from the presence of veteran pianist Johnnie Johnson, who also crops up on "My Time After Awhile" from LIVE! THE REAL DEAL. A fourth studio set HEAVY LOVE yields "Midnight Train," a mid-pace scorcher on which Guy and guest Jonny Lang trade guitar solos. Three previously unreleased tracks, which judging from the personnel date from sessions for DAMN RIGHT, rounds of this summary of the comeback years.
Album Reviews
Mojo (9/99, p.102) - "...If the blues concentration and three previously unreleased cuts ought to please hardliners, the cameos by Johnny Lang...and Bonnie Raitt...and the lovely wordless meditation for SRV, 'Rememberin' Stevie', should take the fancy of just about everybody else."
