Just like fine wine, Buddy Guy keeps getting better and better. The new Skin Deep, which all the songs were written by Buddy is awesome. If you're a blues fan, this CD is for you.

This is not a serious BLUES ALBUM. It is fun to listen to......but I exspected a much more serious SONG SELECTION for these 2 great singers. The "TITLE SONG", is some-what of a joke song. The song "DAY's OF OLD", just doesn't sound like blues. And "I WANNA BE", sounds almost like a rock ANTHEM. The rest is really good, but at 12 songs it's rather short. I would suggest, since BB KING is 82 yrs. old, that these guys get back together and make a serious sounding......DEEP.....blues album ( OLD GRITTY, RAW BLUES SONGS ). BB ain't going to be around forever ( THOUGH HE SINGS LIKE IT ), so hurry up...CLAPTON.

3.Hoodoo Man Blues by: Junior Wells June 10, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $13.49 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $11.99 You Save: $1.50 (11%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.50
There are fine reviews of this CD, some with historical background,. others, with an appreciative ear, most know better, esp. more than me. I would only suggust that Jr. Wells, Buddy Guy, Jack Myers, oughta try to get reparations from Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Siegal-Schwall Band, Electric Flag, and all other Chicago imitative blues bands.

Score one more for Rhino. This label really does know how to find obscure cuts and bring them into standout various artist collections. The only gripe I could have is this disk sounds a bit monaural in a mix, but I'll still use it--it's fun to mix up a little blues with the typical sugary Christmas sentiment. What can I say about this collection that has not been said? Just add Lightning Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, Canned Heat and the rest of the crew in and you've got a mix that'll make your season funky.

5.The Definitive Collection by: Muddy Waters May 23, 2006

There is a huge amount of Muddy Waters-compilations out there, and while MCA/Chess's two-disc, 50-track "Anthology 1947-1972" is certainly more definitive than this Geffen compilation, it does offer a very good overview of Muddy Waters' career. Opening with the classic 1948 single "I Can't Be Satisfied", this CD takes you through (most of) the highlights from the 1950s and 60s. "Hoochie Coochie Man", "I'm Ready", "I Just Wanna Make Love To You", "Mannish Boy", and "Got My Mojo Working" are here, of course, and in the original versions, too, but it's a shame that some slightly lesser known (but equally fine) singles like "I Love The Life I Live, I Live The Life I Love", "She's Nineteen Years Old" and "I Want To Be Loved" are missing. But there is certainly enough great music here to ... Read More

I lived the 90's, this is the BEST and FEW ( IF any ), albums made that a FAMILY ( kids and adults ) could listen to. This is the best album of the 90's. BB KING is 10 times better now then in the 50's. And the work he is putting out is 10 times better then any-band on earth. WHY, don't no. The man tries. Other bands and singers......just don't care. You don't have to like BLUES, to love this album. THAT's BB KING's SECRET.

7.His Best :(Little Walter)The Chess 50th Anniversary Collection by: Little Walter June 17, 1997

Picture yourself in a crowded juke joint or blues bar on the southside of Chicago in the late '40's. Muddy Waters is about to play. He's already gone electric; I mean, he had to, to be heard over all the talking and yelling and what not. His harp player has about blown out a lung trying to be heard over all that din. Walter Jacobs has been doing a bit of experimenting himself, in an attempt to amplify the sound of that little instrument. Tonight he actually grabs the microphone off the stand, bumping it up close enough in his clasped hands to touch the harp. He cranks up the volume and starts to blow. The sound coming out of the amp is unlike anything anyone's ever heard. It's got a deep, heavy, honking, sexy wail, nothing at all like the unamplified harmonica sound of "country" blues. Men and women alike dance ecstatically, ... Read More

I like "Damn Right, I've Got the Blues" better, but this is still great. I loved Stevie Ray Vaughn, and since Buddy played at the last concert Stevie ever gave, I looked forward to hearing the instrumental tribute to him. I wasn't disappointed. Anybody who thinks Chicago blues is always loud and driving should listen hard to that one. Like any great music, there's more than one way to be blue. Yeah, Buddy.

9.Lie to Me by: Jonny Lang January 28, 1997

I'm not thrilled by this album. I like Lang's bluesy renditions but I would have liked a few more cuts that have the energy of the title song.

10.Midnight Blues by: Magic Slim & the Teardrops September 09, 2008

Didn't get excited about Magic Slim & the Teardrops the first time I heard them. Big, greasy Willie Johnson guitar work, Jimmy Reed slurred vocals, same fatback backbeat drums, nothing special about the setlist. Didn't get excited about Magic Slim & the Teardrops the second time I heard them, either, and so on and so forth through a lot of years to the present. The thing is, during all those years, Willie Johnson and Jimmy Reed were passing away, and other road acts billing themselves as Chicago blues acts either lost track of the attitude or burned out. Magic Slim & the Teardrops are still enthusiastically at it, doing those songs that way because that's what they do and that's the way they like to do them, no matter who or what else they may see or hear. They're not on a revival tour of their own better days; they never ... Read More
