Description
1970s reissue of the classic vinyl album for A Man and the Blues, the second studio album by legendary Chicago blues guitarist and singer Buddy Guy. Released in March 1968 on Vanguard Records, it is considered a landmark recording that bridges the gap between Chicago blues and R&B. The album features a tight backing band including piano virtuoso Otis Spann, rhythm guitarist Wayne Bennett, bassist Jack Myers, drummer Fred Below, and a saxophone trio.
The album consists of nine tracks, including original compositions and notable covers:
A Man and the Blues (Buddy Guy)
I Can't Quit the Blues (Buddy Guy)
Money (That's What I Want) (Berry Gordy, Janie Bradford)
One Room Country Shack (Mercy Dee Walton)
Mary Had a Little Lamb (Buddy Guy's original arrangement)
Just Playing My Axe (Buddy Guy)
Sweet Little Angel (B.B. King)
Worry, Worry (Pluma Davis, Jules Taub)
Jam on a Monday Morning (Buddy Guy)
The version of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on this album is particularly famous and was later covered by Stevie Ray Vaughan in the 1980s
