Free Music Notes for Sweet Tea
Free Music Review: Excellent
Hit: 4 Stars
A great CD - but does one of the reviewers REALLY think Junior Kimbrough etc. are impoverished? Actually, they have done rather well by Fat Possum.... The question is rather whether Silvertone and the producer have done well by Buddy Guy....Free Music Review: Moron
Hit: 5 Stars
I read the two star of this album and had to respond, 1st) the acoustic quality of the CD is fantastic, 2nd) the track selection isn't so much an album as it is a selection and statement on different aspects of the blues, 3rd) Buddy Guy puts so much soul into this album that I find my B&K amp haunted by him later.This is one of the best Blues CDs of the past 10 years.
Free Music Review: BEST VOODOO LEAD GUITAR SINCE HENDRIX LEFT US
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been disappointed in Buddy Guy ever since the early 80's when I arrived at his concert in Paris with front row center orchestra pit seats only to find the show "cancelled" at the last moment. I kept the faith and kept up with his cd production - only to be let down with what I heard, i.e. at times annoying vocals and predictable range of blues standards with new lyrics - BUT THIS ALBUM renews my faith as it is the CLOSEST THING TO HAVING JIMI HEMDRIX BACK - as you all know, Hendrix, Clapton, Page etc... ALL acknowledge their debts to Albert King, B.B. King, Otis Rush, Freddie King and Buddy Guy (of course there are others). In fact, the main differences between the "original" blues leads and the "rock and roll" leads were distortion, feedback, effects and volume. Many parts of Jimmy Page leads are note for note Buddy Guy lines. On Sweet Tea, Buddy Guy plugs into some high gain amplification and lets the Voodoo come forth. His version of Lowell Fulsom's TRAMP - is earth shattering - If you are looking for some heavy blues played by one of the original electric guitar greats in a style reminiscent of the late great Jimi Hendrix (Red House, Hear My Train a Comin' etc ...) this is a must buy! Like the finest tea from the mountains of the Far East - Sweet Tea is a pleasure to sit back and enjoy.Free Music Review: THIS IS THE CLOSEST THING TO HENDRIX AVAILABLE TODAY

I had been riding on a string of disappointments with recent efforts by Buddy Guy - but Sweet Tea is an oasis for all those who were set adrift with the passing of Jimi - yes, Robin Trower is great and we can all listen to traditional blues and old Hendrix albums and dream of the past - but this cd is a revelation. All you need to do is read some interviews with Hendrix, Page, Clapton and the rest to know how much they owe to Albert King, Otis Rush, B.B. King and of course Buddy Guy - like sipping the finest tea - this is the sound!!!!Free Music Review: Didn't like it at first
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD has really grown on me. At first I guess it was just too different, didn't give me the "rush" that I listen to Buddy Guy and his Chicago colleagues for. The drum-corps percussion was a distraction, for one thing. But then one day the music clicked. Some listeners love this album a lot; for them, it can be gritty, loud, mannered and stylish all at the same time, and still works. For you others, don't give up too soon.
