Buddy Guy – Ain't Done With The Blues (2xLP)

Even though he has said goodbye to regular touring with his "Damn Right Farewell Tour", Buddy Guy is far from finished with the blues. That's why his new album is called "Ain't Done With The Blues". It will be released the day after the Chicago blues legend's 89th birthday.

Even his recent brief appearance in the Hollywood film "Blood & Sinners" does not necessarily suggest that Buddy Guy will be taking it easy in the near future. On the contrary: "Ain't Done With The Blues" shows his tireless dedication to the genre that he has played a key role in shaping for almost 60 years.

"This album is about where I've been, where I'm going and the people I've learned everything from," says Buddy Guy about his 20th studio album. "Muddy, Wolf, Walter, Sonny Boy, BB, I could go on forever. Before they died, they all said 'Man, if you outlive me, just keep the blues alive' and I try to keep that promise."

And Buddy Guy does that impressively on "Ain't Done With The Blues". The new songs are bursting with creativity and laid-back guitar licks. With Joe Bonamassa, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, ex-Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh, the Blind Boys Of Alabama and Peter Frampton, an impressive array of guests from different generations also pay tribute to the icon.

Ain't Done With The Blues" thus joins the long line of essential Buddy Guy albums that have so far earned the bluesman nine Grammy
