With almost eighty years old, Buddy Guy shows he is still a real bluesman both in his music as in his way of living He continues to perform live shows with the same intensity and vitality as he did in his younger days when he played with the great Junior Wells This studio album brings us a superb Buddy Guy on top form, together with some deluxe guests such as Van Morrison, Joss Stone, Kim Wilson and charismatic Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) The album starts with an impressive old time slow blues performed in the most traditional Chicago style with fantastic real lyrics and a title that says everything Born To Play Guitar, but there is also an emotional tribute to B B King with thee song Flesh & Bone and another one to his great friend and brother Muddy Waters with Come Back Muddy As Guy remembers, when he knew Muddy was very ill, he called him and told him he was going to visit him Muddy said: Don’t bother, I’m well Go to play and promise me to will always keep the blues alive as we have always been doing Muddy died soon after, and Buddy Guy kept his promise and he still continues keeping the blues alive The album has no waste and is not to be missed, so it is a must for any blues lover to get immediately a copy
