Buddy Guy - Damn Right, I've Got The Blues


This is a live performance by blues legend Buddy Guy playing his original blues tune "Damn Right, I've Got The Blues". The set-up is very laid back and simple. All musicians on stage are sitting down and Guy is only accompanied by a piano and a second guitarist. It gives a simple, but very good sound where Guy's playing really shines through.
The song is the title track to Guy's 1991 album. The album was described as Guy's commercial comeback album back when it was released. The album also features the following guest artists: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Mark Knopfler and the Memphis Horns.
This performance is from the Guitar Center Sessions. I really love how even when they're doing a laid back performance Guy can't turn off his natural showmanship. He can't help playing the guitar the same way he would standing up and doing all those funny tricks like for instance turning the guitar upside down and rubbing it against the fabric of his shirt. He just can't help him self and that is why he's such a great performer. Truly a great blues performance.

Enjoy ; )
