Summary: Pretty Lousy
Comment: First of all, let it be said that Buddy Guy is an electric Blues guitarist, and not a pre-War "Country Blues" artist. His guitar playing on the Skip James track really shows that Buddy was simply clowning around at these sessions and is also very limited on an acoustic guitar. The subtleties and nuances that Skip James provided us with in the song, on both the 1931 recording and on later versions, is totally missing from the Buddy Guy version. Johnny Shines, who is one of the greatest Bluesmen of the second half of the 20th century, has a song on this album that is covered by Buddy Guy, according to the liner notes from this album. The only problem is that the Buddy Guy track doesn't resemble the Shines version in any way. The music and lyrics are totally different. Every song on this album lacks the vitality and musical sophistication of the respective originals. People who claim to be Blues fans and rank this album very high are obviously doing so only because they are huge Buddy Guy fans. I enjoy Buddy Guy's Chess recordings and also some of the stuff he did during his comeback almost 20 years ago, but this album is just plain awful. If you want to hear some good acoustic Blues music, I strongly recommend Johnny Shines' "Standing at the Crossroads", "The Complete Recordings of Robert Johnson" or Furry Lewis' "Shake 'Em On Down". Those recordings are three of the best examples of excellent Blues music.

Summary: A change of pace.
Comment: First up I'll make it know that I'm a very big fan of Buddy Guy's music and can think of nothing better than sitting down and listening to Buddy do his thing. Now given Buddy's reputation for doing 'his thing' this recording is something of a suprise, possibly a shock for some. This is pretty much an all acoustic affair with minimal backing by other musicians and for the most part it works very well. Buddy undoubtly has his trade mark guitar sound and equally memorable vocal approach, this CD places Buddy in a situation where he only has the bare essentials to work his magic. His guitar work is understated and completely spot on for the mood of this collection of blues covers. His vocal work however, is what this CD is all about and why you should have it in your collection. No crazy unbridled blues vocals here folks, this time around Buddy has very successfuly tapped into a facet of his abilities we have not heard for sometime, keep in mind this CD came out in 2003. Standout tracks for me were Moanin' and Groanin' and Can't See Baby but the more you play this CD the more your preferences will move around, just seems to depend on how your feeling at the time. Well worth the money and your listening time, a definte Buddy classic.

Summary: Buddy Guy's best in years
Comment: So much of Buddy Guy's recent work is overproduced, guest-star-burdened, and hard-rock-oriented, aiming for the Stevie-Ray-Vaughn-fan market, and his live shows are famously unfocused and unsatisfying, but this album is a little jewel. Each song is a tribute to a different blues master, and his interpretation of Son House is particularly moving. Buddy Guy is still the best bluesman around, by far. This disk proves it.

Summary: An Orgasm For The Ears !!!
Comment: This is probably the most heart-wrenching, Heartfelt, Soulful, Powerfully Moving albums (I just ran out of adjectives) I have ever heard.....In ANY genere !!!! Total sensory overload.....which is saying a lot considering the "bare bones" feel of the album. This is Buddy stripped Butt Naked.......And he NEVER sounded better. Kudos to you Buddy. You are the master !!! Long may you reign !!!!!

Editorial Reviews:

Not known for his acoustic work, Buddy Guy unplugs for a rare album-length excursion into folk blues. Continuing the rootsy, bare-bones approach that made 2001’s electric Sweet Tea (also produced by Dennis Herring) so gutsy and memorable, the guitarist gets down and dirty with 12 tracks that sound like they were recorded after hours in his living room or on his back porch. Guy’s stinging leads are still evident as is his emotive voice, but both are less flamboyant in the unplugged setting. Accompanied by spare stand-up bass and brushed drums, Guy sounds nearly possessed on covers from Skip James ("Hard Time Killing Floor"), Johnny Shines ("Moanin’ and Groanin’"), Son House ("Louise McGhee"), and John Lee Hooker ("Sally Mae") among others. It’s a low-key, low-down affair made for late nights, rainy days, and the saddest of moods. Guy is just as convincing here--arguably more so--as on his barnstorming electric albums, making Blues Singer one of the bravest and most poignant albums in his catalog. --Hal Horowitz
