Buddy Guy, live from the House of Blues, West Hollywood, CA March 23rd 1995

Buddy Guy finally achieved the recognition he deserved in the early 90s, winning Grammys for Damn Right I’ve Got the Blues (1991) and Feels Like Rain (1992). This blistering set at the House of Blues, West Hollywood was performed and broadcast by National Public Radio, soon after the release of his classic Slippin’ In album, and finds him on superb form on a variety of his trademark numbers, as well as some sly impersonations of other players. Backed by Scott Holt (guitar), Greg Rzab (bass) and Ray ‘Killer’ Allison (drums) and featuring introductions from superfans Dan Aykroyd and John Goodman, it’s an absolute blast for all fans of true Chicago blues.
