GEORGE ("BUDDY") GUY

BUDDY GUY
On Stage in Boston
in the Early Seventies
When I Left Home is Buddy Guy's story, written with David Ritz and released recently. Two very informative reviews are here and here. A contemporary photograph and interview are here. The biography honoring his 2005 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is here. His own website is here, and that of his club, Buddy Guy's Legends, is here.
An homage for his birthday today, with several videos of performances over the years (including from the era in the photograph above), is here.
Another photograph of mine of Buddy Guy with Big Mama Thornton is here.
And finally, an interpretation in a photograph, here, described in a comment left by "Kevin" (thanks):
Fantastic shot. I love the way he is cutting through the darkness. Between his furrowed brow and the way his fingers are bending the string you can almost hear the blues he's playing.
