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).
