Da Man!:
Eric Clapton has called him the world's greatest guitar player.
Buddy does so much more that just play the guitar, he plays with the
guitar. Plucking the strings with his teeth had to inspire younger
guitarists who were soon to be on the scene, like Jimi Hendrix
Buddy was a session player for Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and Koko
Taylor to name a few.

Buddy started his music career in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and
relocated to Chicago in 1957. It didn't take long before he was
sharing the same stage with Magic Sam, Luther Allison, and Otis
Rush, helping create the "Westside Sound" of Chicago Blues.

Like most great Blues performers, Buddy Guy is best experienced
live!

Taking advantage of every possible sound a guitar and amplifier can
make, without special effects, Buddy can make his instrument talk as
coherently as normal conversation. He plays words, not notes.

Buddy has won more W.C. Handy Awards than any other Blues artist.

Buddy teamed up with harmonica master Junior Wells in the late
1960s. They were known as the Blues Brothers long before Jake and
Elwood.

Buddy owns Chicago's premier Blues club, "Buddy Guy's Legends".

Buddy continues to tour and make appearances at his Chicago club. He
has even been known to stir up a pot of gumbo in the kitchen and
serve his guests after the show. Now that's some Blues hospitality!
