Reviews

All-Music Guide (Bill Dahl)
Kind of thrown-together hodgepodge, but still a worthwhile add to your CD collection. Guy's four indispensable 1958 sides for Cobra are here (along with alternates of "This is the end" and the Guitar Slim - influenced "You sure can't do"), while Guy provides crackling lead guitar on four 1963 outings by singer Jesse Fortune (notably the minor - key rhumba "Too many cooks"). Finally, there are two demos that Guy cut at a Baton Rouge radio station back in 1957 -- or they're supposed to be here, anyway: the crudely engaging "The way you been treatin' me" is definitely Buddy Guy, but "I hope you come back home" isn't (no guesses from this corner on exactly who it may be, either).
