Buddy Guy once said, 'I make a lot of mistakes - you know, hit a wrong string. I've never seen B.B. King do that.' That comparison has always stuck in my head as a defining quality of the blues guitar great: he might not always be clean, but his rawness is what defines him.
Though Guy's most frenetic (and best) work was in the `60s, `70s and early `80s, the 69-year-old has garnered more critical notice in recent years, including four Grammys since 1991 and entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.
Bring 'Em In, Guy's latest album, is an effort to translate that acclaim to a wider commercial audience. Like so many recent releases from old legends, Bring 'Em In is chock-full of star-studded collaborations: Carlos Santana (currently working on the Guinness record for duets) on I Put a Spell on You, Tracy Chapman on Ain't No Sunshine, John Mayer on I've Got Dreams to Remember and Keith Richards on The Price You Gotta Pay. ~ Full Review at Canada.com
