Free Music Review: The Real Deal, my review from Barcelona
Hit: 4 Stars
After reading some critical reviews of his record I have listened to it again and I have to agree with some of them willy-nilly. This cd contains some disappointments for all true Buddy Guy fans. For instance in the Bobby Blue Bland's "Ain't that Lovin' you", a song which is really out of place here, or in the irregular tune "Let me love you baby". But the rest of record is really great for me. Guy's voice is still powerful in spite of his age (60 years, at once), and he gives excellent renditions of "I've Got My Eyes On You", the Grammy award winner "Damn Right I've Got The Blues", the classical "Sweet black angel", the magnificent slow version of "My time after awhile", and in the Elmore James' single "Talk To Me Baby". There is also an excellent acoustic piano work of Chuck Berry's formed Johnnie Johnson in "I've got news for you" . The guitar is excellent in general and offers some moments of high tension. Guy is near his top form in this set drawn from gigs at his own Chicago club. If you're a fan of Chicago blues or a fan of Buddy Guy chances are that you'll enjoy this album.
Live: The Real Deal Poster
Silvertone Records has done a smart job of resurrecting Buddy Guy's career. When the label signed the Chicago blues guitar master in 1990, the 54-year-old legend hadn't had an American release in nine years. Silvertone introduced him to a new audience by having him play duets with such rock-star admirers as Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, and Jeff Beck on the 1991 album, Damn Right, I've Got the Blues. In 1996 the label unleashed the hardcore Buddy Guy stretching out on vintage blues numbers in a live setting on Live! The Real Deal. The payoff is not only a terrific blues album but also an album built on the kind of financial foundation that will insure many more to come. --Geoffrey HimesBlues Music CDs
