Re: Buddy Guy : Skin Deep (2008)

[jipes]

Comme tous les ans, Experience Hendrix propose une série de concerts en hommage au guitariste auxquels participent cette année Hubert Sumlin, mais aussi Buddy Guy (comme l'an dernier)... dont le rapport à Hendrix est des plus étranges : plutôt que d'interpréter (comme tout le monde) des titres du répertoire hendrixien, il joue des morceaux de son dernier album !

Ce qui laisse a penser que le syndrôme des derniers albums est en route Je trouve que c'est ce qu'il fait le plus mal d'ailleurs quand il commence a jouer comme "il "pense Hendrix je prends mes jambes a mon cou Je préfère le Buddy Rythm'n'Blues des années Chess ou alors l'acoustique de Blues singer

Skin Deep (sur le label Silvertone), un diamant brut, décroche une «Ovation» dans le périodique Blues Again, un journal de critiques spécialisés pourtant réputés pour avoir la dent dure.

A mourir de rire

Buddy Guy proves blues more than 'Skin Deep'

Guitarist Buddy Guy, along with legendary bluesman B.B. King, are perhaps the two greatest remaining artists from the post-World War II era that brought the blues from the Mississippi Delta to the world, and in the process transformed the music from its rural and raw roots into a powerful, plugged-in style that influenced scores of rock artists, from the Rolling Stones through the White Stripes.

Both were nominated earlier this year for the Grammy Award for best traditional blues album -- Guy for "Skin Deep," and King for "One Kind of Favor," both current discs. King took home the award this time, but Guy has five previous Grammy Awards, and it was was King, along with Eric Clapton, who inducted Guy into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.

King already was making waves after moving from Mississippi to Memphis, when Guy, who had grown up working in cotton fields in his hometown of Lettsworth, La., made the trip north to Chicago in September 1957.

There, Guy, who performs Friday at the Palace Theatre in Greensburg, was signed by Chess Records, where he played on numerous albums by legends such as Muddy Waters and Sonny Boy Williamson, and recorded several albums of his own.

Guy's tenure with Chess ended in 1967, but during the 1970s he forged a partnership with the late harmonica player Junior Wells that made the duo the top blues act on the Chicago scene.

But Guy's good fortunes dried up in the 1980s, and he went a full decade without an American record deal before signing with Silvertone Records and releasing "Damn Right, I've Got the Blues," the top-notch Grammy-winning CD that pushed Guy back to the forefront of the blues.

Guy has recorded regularly for Silvertone ever since. His albums, along with the praise from a host of rock and blues artists -- including Clapton, who has touted Guy as the "best guitar player alive" -- have given Guy long-overdue recognition as a leading force on the blues scene.

"Skin Deep" is one of his better efforts. According to Guy, it's also the album on which he gained more control than ever over the music he recorded for the project.

Guy says he was affiliated with writing 100 percent of the songs on "Skin Deep."

"It's always been in the past, I would wind up doing 70 percent of somebody else's songs," he says.

For "Skin Deep," Guy forged a songwriting partnership with producer Tom Hambridge. It took some convincing, Guy says, but Silvertone signed off on the project, and left Guy and Hambridge to their own devices in the studio.

"I had to twist (Silvertone's) arm so bad until finally somebody said 'Well, OK,'" he says. "We went down there, and this was the smoothest session I ever made in my life."

Guy also gets some notable help from friends. Susan Tedeschi trades vocals with Guy on "Too Many Tears" (a song that also includes Tedeschi's husband, Allman Brothers guitarist Derek Trucks, adding some tasty slide guitar licks). Clapton is featured on "Every Time I Have the Blues," while lap steel virtuoso Robert Randolph makes his considerable presence felt on "Out in the Woods" and "That's My Home."

Guy is doing a run of headlining shows, and it's a safe bet that "Skin Deep" will be one of several songs from the CD that find their way into his set. Exactly what songs Guy will play, though, is anyone's guess.

"It's very seldom I have a set list, but at least I'm doing four or five songs from the new CD," he says. "Whenever I play now, I just can't forget to hit a lick of Muddy Waters or Stevie Ray (Vaughan) or (Jimi) Hendrix. That's just a part of me. I listened to their music when Stevie was living. And they would say we're all playing other people's music. So I come out there and do Buddy Guy, but I also will do a Muddy song, maybe one or two of them."
