The Blues Don't Lie (2022)/ Guy, Buddy

Buddy Guy, the 86-year-old, living blues legend is one of the last of the OG’s. He was running up and down the highways and making blues masterpieces before most of us were born. This latest release, The Blues Don’t Lie, undoubtedly proves that Buddy is the World Heavyweight Champion of the blues. It doesn’t get much better than Buddy… from his singing, his guitar playing, to his showmanship on stage. On this project, Guy once again enlisted the expertise of Tom Hambridge, his long-time drummer, songwriter, and producer to partner on the making of the record. In addition to having world class musicians on the project, Buddy also has quite an impressive list of guests artists as well. Mavis Staples, Elvis Costello, James Taylor, Jason Isbell, Bobby Rush, and Wendy Moten all contribute stellar guest vocal performances to the project. The production and song writing on the project are equally as impressive along with the guest artists and musicians on the project. (Blues Rock Review)|
