Buddy Guy First Time I Met The Blues: 1958-1963 Recordings on 180g Import LP

Buddy Guy is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago's fabled West Side sound, and a living link to the city's halcyon days of electric blues. The raw and powerful First Time I Met The Blues: 1958-1963 Recordings pays testament to all of those distinctions and is an excellent overview of some of his finest work from his early years. The essential 17-track set collects historic material like the mighty title cut which dates back to his first Chess sessions in 1960; "Sit And Cry" with Otis Rush and Willie Dixon; "Let Me Love You Baby" and "Ten Years Ago" with Junior Wells; and such warhorses as "I've Got a Strange Feeling," "Stone Crazy" and "This Is The End."
