Album Review: Buddy Guy - Born To Play Guitar

"A stellar return and Guy at his thick, riffing, Mississippi best."

More Buddy Guy More Buddy Guy

Buddy Guy now up to his 28th studio album, has recruited a new roster of collaborative musicians for Born To Play Guitar, a stellar return and Guy at his thick, riffing, Mississippi best.

Far from the decisive sound split of his previous record, it returns to the tested Guy formula. Combining his smoky, backhouse-troubled lyrics with collaborators such as Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Guy takes a wonderful, dirty, six-string, foot-stomping trip that takes you through Back Up Mama, Beer & Wine and Turn Me Wild, making this not just a must for blues fans.
