Reviews
A music fan from Grand Rapids, Michigan on Amazon
While this Cd has some undeniably great music from Buddy's stint
with Vanguard records, as a whole, it reeks of rip-off. For a start,
the shoddy packaging offers no information whatsoever beyond the song
titles. Novices unfamiliar with Buddy might not be aware that a good
chunk of the tracks feature the vocals and harp of the late Junior Wells,
or that the material is entirely available on other, better, releases
by Buddy and/or Junior on Vanguard. Fans of Buddy will likely already
have those, and beginners are strongly advised to start somewhere else,
such as Buddy's classic "A Man and the Blues" album, possibly one of
the greatest albums ever, blues or otherwise.
