Buddy Guy, one of this year's Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award Recipients,
is headlining the October cruise, marking his First Appearance Ever on our Blues
Cruise Charters!
"Whenever I accept an award like this I do it for all the Blues
men and women who came before me and never got the recognition they truly
deserved." - Buddy Guy
For a man who name is nearly synonymous with the Chicago blues sound, Buddy
Guy has one of the warmest smiles in the business. Rock titans, including Jimi
Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Keith Richards and Stevie Ray Vaughan have all
cited him as a major influence on their own music. Now 78, the 2005 inductee to
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has barely slowed down as he continues to
encourage and inspire a new generation of musicians.
A Self-Taught Legend: Born to Louisiana sharecroppers Sam
and Isabel Guy on July 30, 1936, George "Buddy" Guy taught himself to play
guitar as a young boy. He took a train to Chicago in 1957, and landed at the
famous 708 Club where he became a sideman for legends such as Howlin' Wolf,
Little Walter and Muddy Waters. By the early 1960s, Guy was a first-call session
man at Chess Records.
After years of touring and recording, the musician opened Buddy Guy's Legends
in Chicago in June of 1989. As the premiere blues club in the world, its stage
has hosted myriad of blues and rock greats. Guy inked a deal with Silvertone for
three albums that began with the 1991 comeback smash Damn Right, I've Got
the Blues (reissued in 2005), which he followed up with 1993′s Feels
Like Rain and 1994′s Slippin' In. All three earned Grammy
Awards.
Guy has firmly cemented a blues legacy that places him squarely in the
company of his heroes who came before. In 2012, he published his autobiography,
When I Left Home: My Story. He has said he feels an obligation to keep
their legacy alive. Guy still holds a 16-show residency at his eponymous Legends
club in Chicago every January. After one of his shows seven years ago, Guy met
then eight-year-old Quinn Sullivan (who also joins us on LRBC
#25), a budding blues guitarist. Now a mentor to the teenaged musician,
Guy tours with him and produced his first album. "I learn from Buddy every day,"
Sullivan says. |
