Though this release carries the deceptive subtitle Another Record by Ry Cooder, the virtuosic guitarist and ethnomusicological adventurer has never released another album quite like this. And neither has anyone else. After brilliant side trips into the music of pre-Castro Cuba and pre-baseball Chavez Ravine, Cooder returns to the Depression-era and Dust Bowl ballads that marked his earliest solo releases of the 1970s. Yet most of this material is original, offering a populist parable of three fellow travelers: Buddy Red Cat, Lefty Mouse, and the Reverend Tom Toad. The tradition of putting pointed social commentary in the mouths of animals extends from Animal Farm to Pogo, and Buddy seems like a feline cross between Woody Guthrie and Joe Hill--a troubadour of union solidarity, interspecies brotherhood, and radical populism. Though Cooder's cartoon vocals occasionally sound a little mannered, the music throughout ranks with his best, as he reunites with conjunto accordion master Flaco Jimenez and soul singers Terry Evans and Bobby King, enlists banjo brothers Pete and Mike Seeger, and receives inspired support from the Chieftains' Paddy Moloney, pianist Van Dyke Parks, and drummers Jim Keltner and (his son) Joachim Cooder. Whether he's channeling his inner Chet Baker on "Green Dog" or closing with the utopian vision of "There's a Bright Side Somewhere," Cooder shows more sides of his multifaceted music than he has on any previous release. --Don McLeese

Album Description

On My Name Is Buddy, Ry Cooder revisits, in a new set of original material, the sound and feeling of the "dust bowl songs" he first explored more than three decades ago on such groundbreaking albums as his self-titled 1970 debut and 1971's In The Purple Valley. In fact, he's joined by old friends like pianist Van Dyke Parks and drummer Jim Keltner who were with him at the start of his extraordinary, ultimately globe-spanning musical odyssey, which has yielded him six Grammy Awards to date, several more nominations, and perennial acclaim. My Name Is Buddy is also a journey, a phantasmagorical rendering in music, words and pictures of the travels of three unlikely cohorts - Buddy Red Cat, Lefty Mouse and Reverend Tom Toad - as they meander through the west "in the days of labor, big bosses, farm failures, strikes, company cops, sundown towns, hobos and trains...the America of yesteryear." For this allegorical tale, Cooder marshals all his remarkable skills as a producer, arranger, songwriter, soundtrack composer and musicologist. (The Christian Science Monitor recently dubbed him "a modern-day Alan Lomax.") My Name Is Buddy recalls Woody Guthrie's Bound for Glory - that is, if it had been enacted by the articulate animal characters of Walt Kelly's classic comic Pogo. Cooder conjures up the dark shadows of an earlier time to wryly comment on the political and social issues of the present. As back-story to his songs, Cooder has written short stories for each one and they're accompanied by evocative illustrations from noted San Antonio-based painter and muralist Vincent Valdez, all of which are included in a specially designed package.

Customer Reviews:

Good--but it doesn't hold together for me as well as the reviews described.......2007-07-12

I got the CD because I like Ry Cooder and like the concept of a story-CD. For me, "Chavez Ravine" felt like a more cohesive body of material, though.

I cannot fault the musicianship and the storyline is fascinating. Anyone who has a past anchored in the Dust Bowl area will identify with the stories---Cooder must have done his research from testimonials of folks who'd been there. If you are interested in this topic, the Oklahoma Historical Society has an extensive oral history collection, plus there were many interviews conducted by the WPA during the Depression. (The Indian Pioneer Histories)

One thing, I'm happy I got this CD used. I'd probably rate it less if I'd paid $16.99 for it and seen the 'eco packaging' already raveling at the edges. Yes, I'd like friendlier CD covers, but please can we at least get archival quality here? I do plan on keeping this CD.

...it wasn't that long ago...........2007-06-18

And maybe that is part of Ry's point.

Ry Cooder seems to be able to find the wonderful diversity of our world lurking under the notes. He plays and out comes ...the heat of the desert as desperation in Paris, Texas, ...the saucy spirit of persistence in Buena Vista Social Club, the fun "Oh I forgot how happy music makes me" in Chicken Skin Music. There are so many. And whats amazing is that there is hardly an album or soundtrack that you don't listen to - I mean really listen.

This is another amazing effort. Full of depression and unionizations references. There is Buddy (the buddy system), Lefty (left - get it), J. Edgar the pig (you can do this one yourself). Characters, good and bad, the truck drivers, the Klan (Republiklans), the poll police (the man) and the wonderful farmer's daughter.

I think the message could have been stronger. Pete Seeger is definitely part of the inspiration. He was master of the alagory - but he had to be. Those were the days when the man would pop out of nowhere and you would be gone (maybe lost to the coyotes). Seeger let his listener pull the power of the issue out of his prose. Ry Cooder could have been abit more "in our face" with these issues. 'Chavez Ravine' proves he has a punch.

But - fear not - this is too good to pull back a star. Listen to it and tell the younger folks that there were times when it was hard - really hard - to find the bright side.

Sorry Ry..........2007-06-12

...but this album borders on the juvenile. And the songs are poorly phrased. This package is destined for the bargain bins.
Now, let's hear from more of those folks who couldn't write a negative review if their life depended on it....Those are the ones that always wind up at the top of Amazon's Customer reviews.

ry cooder at his best.......2007-06-08

love the story line which gets across the message in such a subtle way- who would love a cat named buddy!!

Ry's own voice.......................................2007-05-31

A bit of a "return to his own roots" effort in that Ry:

(a) sings in a style I remember him most for, that is, in a straightforward unstrained manner, as he did on his earlier albums that I admired so much, and
(b) brings back to the arena some political folk sentiments, so we have some Woody Guthrie/Pete Seeger sprinklings along the way.

And he also brings along something rather new for him, a concept album built along a developing lyrical theme. So we have a story line that runs the length of the album.

As always, excellent sidemen and women bring invaluable contributions. But my first thiought on hearing this was that Ry was letting his own voice take its rightful place in the mix again, not so much at the expense of spotlighting his string playing and the guests.

Robert Cray says that Buddy Guy's guitar solos sound like laughter from space, but they can also peal like the cries of lost souls attempting to cross the River Styx. If these 47 songs on three CDs plus a DVD boasting a new 75-minute documentary and six performances from the Montreux Jazz Festival prove anything, it's that Guy is one of the most dynamic, diverse, expressionistic, and emotional guitarists--in any genre. The set neatly examines the 70-year-old Chicago blues legend's half-century career, starting with a ragged but soulful "The Way You Been Treating Me" cut in 1957 at a radio station in Guy's native Louisiana that finds him developing his searing, exploratory style. A year later, he's in Chicago working with tunesmith Willie Dixon, and the rest is history (chronicled in Anthony DeCurtis's excellent lines notes) that leads from the glory days of Chess Records to Guy's early breakout recordings for Vanguard to his modern-day mastery. The most recent recordings often find him working with acolytes: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Keb' Mo', Jonny Lang, Bonnie Raitt, Keith Richards, and John Mayer (who duets with Guy on the unreleased "I'd Rather Be Blind, Crippled & Crazy"). B.B. King, who along with Guitar Slim was Guy's most important early influence, also joins Clapton and Guy on a stirring acoustic version of John Lee Hooker's "Crawlin' Kingsnake."

This set makes the argument for Guy's ever-continuing growth as a musician--not only as a player whose frenzy, improvisational instincts, and tonal control keep stretching with age, but as a stylist who was unafraid to put aside his trademark electric approach in 2003 to make the acoustic Blues Singer (represented here by "Bad Life Blues" and the Hooker tune) and to embrace primal North Mississippi juke joint music with Sweet Tea, which lends this set a pair of Junior Kimbrough covers. Guy's sole artistic weakness is his songwriting. He's never been prolific, and even in the '60s his lyrics drew on well-established clichés. But, as these performances attest, his playing's never been less than daring--and his voice knows every nuance of heartache and joy. --Ted Drozdowski

Buddy Guy - Blues.......2007-07-08

This was a gift to a friend who learned to play the guitar at age 60 and really loves blues music. He was thrilled with this CD.

The Blues legend plays on........2007-05-24

Buddy Guy is 70 years old and still plays like he is 20. This Box set is well wirth buying if you dig the blues. Buddy is one hell of a ax man that lives and breaths the blues. This is for the old and the new fans. I listen to Buddy and am always captivated by his playing. Buddy is Eric Claptons favorite player. Jam on America.

Kudos to Legacy!!.......2007-05-15

Now this is what I am talking about!! A quality product that makes everyone happy: both for newbies and long time Buddy fans like me. If you are a Buddy Guy aficionado like me, you probably have already 85% of this material. So the question is: is it worth it? YES!!! Not only because they have included some outsanding never before released outtakes, but mainly because there is a great DVD included that alone makes your money worth. Legacy really went the extra mile to make a great DVD and not just a throwaway like they did with the SRV box. Plus the booklet includes some great photos. Get it, this box is a winner!!

This Buddy Guy DVD is a Must!.......2007-04-16

This Boxed Set is an excellent overview of Buddy Guy's career. It is well presented and has a comprehensive song selection but the absolute highlight is the DVD. Like Albert King, early B.B. King and just about everyone else, material on these legends is scarce! The DVD contains eleven performances from different stages of Guy's career. The first two are from Montreux in 1974 with Junior Wells, Pinetop Perkins and Bill Wyman on Bass. This is a must because this set is not longer available in the States. Junior also plays his chromatic harp, in the style of Little Walter, on "Ten Years Ago" and they also do a slow version of Junior's "Hoodoo Man Blues" (a title, interestingly which came from a Louis Jordan tune). It is fantastic. Buddy plays through a solid state Japanese-made amp for the first time (they were the Montreux House Amps that year)and it has quite an unsual sound. It is similar to the one he had playing through the Leslie Speakers when his amp blew up while recording on Junior's original "Hoodoo Man" LP(1962). These two numbers remind me of seeing Buddy in NY in 1967 by himself (Jr and the Band didn't show up)he just carried on and played out the door of the Cafe Au GoGo with his long lead, just like in "Drownin' On Dry Land" in this set.

"Messin' with the Kid" and "Come On This House" are also gems from Montreux in 1978. On the first two tunes in 1974 they were essentially backing Muddy Waters (as they did in the 1950s) but here they are stars in their own right after the release of their early 1970s hit LP. It is great and features "Fast Fingers" Jimmy Dawkins on second Guitar (his only ever early video clip as far as I know! He is also featured on the recent Delmark release "Tail Dragger"). He plays a better solo on "Messin' With The Kid" than Buddy!

"Sweet Little Angel", a Robert Nighthawk hit and B.B. King tune recorded many times (B.B.'s most famous version: "Live At The Regal")has been done many times by Buddy too. This one is done at Montreux in 1992. I like his version on the "Real Deal" DVD with the SNL Band. This however, is also a strong version.

"Damn Right, I Got The Blues" is from Buddy's comeback period commencing in the early 1990s when there was a short Blues Revival period following the death of SRV. We are still at Montreux in 1998 and the band cooks for this performance. It is great.

"Drowning On Dry Land", "Tramp",and "Mustang Sally" are from Montreux again in 2002. It is important to note that these are NOT the performances issued last year with the Carlos Santana package. These are good, but in all honesty, the band on the Santana set is much better, for one thing the keyboardist from Otis Rush's band is magnificent. Buddy does the Buddy thing at the end and sings without a mike when it fails.

The final two performances are acoustic, something he has added to his shows since the middle 1990s. The performance of "What I'd Say", since Ray Charles has died, is particularly interesting. The solo acoustic "Louise McGhee" from 2004 closes the set.

The 75 minute documentary with this DVD is also a must to see. OK, most of it we have heard many times over the years on other releases, about going to Chicago (he remembers the day in September), and meeting Muddy Waters who fed him and so on. This is all well done and presented and you can watch this many times. The snippets of performances are what really shines here. "Red House" with Joe Satriani is cool and the clips of him (I think it's at Antones!!! In Dallas!) of "The Things I Used to Do" and others we wish they would release that whole set!!!!

Interesting final note: this DVD like so many Blues DVDs in the last 5 years or so (AFBF 3 Vols; Albert King in Sweden and more)was produced by Janie Hendrix and Experience Hendrix Productions. Janie Hendrix is not Jimi's daughter if you are interested. Jimi's father Al remarried and Janie was his stepdaughter from his second marriage.

BUDDY GUY DVD MUST HAVE FOR ALL FANS.......2007-04-16

After watching the complete dvd with all the performance footage, both myself and my wife were in awe and we have seen Buddy three times. One of the shows he came right to us on one of his audience walks, jamming right in our faces! He was totally amazing, smiling all the time. Anyhow, the dvd made us reminice of the shows. The early footage with Junior Wells is good quality and really does justice to all the perfomances. I think the reason it is a good production is the fact that it is produced by Experience Hendrix (Jimi Hendrix's Estate business) and Eddie Kramer is the engineer on the whole production. Buddy tells some great stories during the interview. The cd's give a good overview of Buddy's career with some nice previously unreleased tracks. I would pay just for the DVD, so the bonus is the cd's!!

good memories for me and fun "new" songs for my children.......2007-06-27

We had ordered this for "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme song for our 4yr old and our whole family has fallen in love with the cd. It makes me want to share some of the old fun and simple shows with my children. I forgot about some of those shows. It brings back good memories for my husband and me and the songs are new and exciting for our children. It's a nice change from children's cd's, but our children still think it's fun. The sound quality is good and the songs included on the cd are a great mix. I would definately recommend this one.

memories.......2007-02-22

This cd is excellent it has a lot of very good music and true to the original sound, Am getting a lot of enjoyment,highly recomended

TV Theme Songs.......2007-01-13

This is a great CD for people who watch a lot of TV -especially TV LAND and reruns of old shows when shows had actual theme songs. I took the CD to work and everyone loved trying to figure out what show the songs were from.

TV themes.......2006-07-05

Not all what I expected, not all of the tunes are the original recordings you remember as the TV themes.

Deja Vu.......2006-02-17

Listening to these familiar themes as performed by the original artists certainly brings back wonderful memories! I was particularly pleased, not only with the quality of the pieces, but with the actual performances themselves, just as we remembered them!

Customer Reviews:

GREAT for kids and parents, too!.......2007-04-13

I rarely write reviews, but just had to write about this amazing CD. It's not your typical kiddie-fare. My three kids (ages 4, 6, and 8) listen to this one over and over again, and my husband and I are hooked, too. We are not into jazz at all, but the songs here are so catchy and fun. It's cool enough that you could even play it at an adult function, and everyone would like it. In fact, I'm buying it for my mom, who is 64, because I know that she'll be singing it around the house in no time at all -- just like we do!

cute for kids.......2006-08-13

I bought "Nicky's Jazz Lullabies" before my baby was born and loved it, so I decided to purchase this CD. My baby is a little young for it yet, but it fun to listen to while we play. The songs are cute and catchy, and I'm sure she'll love it eventually. I'm a jazz lover and hope to introduce her to some of the greats. Plus, in my opinion, this beats those cheesy kids songs any day.

Everybody listens when they come to my house.......2006-07-25

This is a delightful program of songs that will please everyone with a garden of word-tune delights. My family and I loved it. We've played it over and over again for our friends. I bought it for several other children I know. They loved it. One 4-year-old is determined to learn every song. And that means learning lots of words, rhymes, syncopation, from great artists of American jazz culture. A verbal infusion for the young that is great fun.

A gem!.......2006-01-23

I rarely write reviews, but I need to comment on how fantastic this compilation is. I have a four-year-old and an eighteen-month-old, and this CD is in heavy rotation at our house. My husband and I love the music at least as much as they do -- it's stylish and sets a great mood as we're making dinner and doing dishes. The kids love it too, needless to say. My four-year-old's favorites are Three Blind Mice (she loves when the farmer's wife squeaks that she'll give back the tails) and the final track by Peggy Lee (where she says the word *poop*, as in "party poop" -- endless laughter ensues). Ella Fitzgerald's A-Tisket, A-Tasket and Chew, Chew Your Bubblegum are priceless. All in all, I highly recommend this CD -- everyone will be happy to hear it again and again.

One of the most under rated cd's on the market.......2005-05-03

This cd has won awards and delighted anyone who has listened. Why it isn't a requirement for kids learning about music, especially in the US where Jazz became Jazz, is beyond me. Perfectly charming songs from the best of the best who made Jazz, lots of passionate Jazz.

Buddy Holly appeared, burned like a flare for a year and a half, and disappeared, leaving behind nothing that wasn't heartfelt. Listening to "Peggy Sue," "Well...All Right," "Words of Love," and, especially, "Everyday" (voice, acoustic guitar, bass, celesta, knee-slaps...perfect!), one can't help but marvel at the lyrical openness, the taste, and the restraint of the music. Those are qualities generally learned over time, which, of course, was in short supply for Holly, who died five months into his 22nd year. Buddy Holly isn't generally thought of as a sage, but you can learn a lot from these songs. --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

If yer a Holly Fan, you NEED THIS COLLECTION!.......2007-06-08

He died way too young, this collection proves that, all of his hits are included here, I highly reccomend this CD set.

If you haven't heard Buddy Holly, get this CD to see what you're missing and why he was taken WAY TOO EARLY in his life.

I feel cheated that he was........

Brilliant.......2007-05-11

Buddy Holly was a brilliant artist way ahead of his time. Forty years on, his music still sounds as fresh as it would have done when it was first released.

Most fans know that a couple of months before his tragic and untimely death, Holly recorded a practice tape in his apartment, which was later found and the songs were dubbed and released as singles in the 1960s. What some people don't realize is that Norman Petty (Holly's ex-manager) did is own versions of these songs which, in my opinion, were much nearer to how the songs would have ended up had Buddy Holly lived to record them himself. These were also released in the 60s but weren't as popular as other versions. I first heard Petty's versions in the late 80s and have been trying to get them on CD ever since, so you can imagine my absolute delight, when these are the versions of What to Do; Crying, Waiting, Hoping; Peggy Sue Got Married and Learning the Game that came blasting out of my stereo upon playing this CD.

As well as some of the big hits, there are some of Holly's lesser known songs, which is the reason I purchased the CD. Yes, there are many brilliant songs that could have also been included here, but with someone with the talent that Buddy Holly had, I guess there's always going to be someone disappointed that a particular song isn't included.

In my opinion, this CD is a MUST HAVE for any Buddy Holly fan.

Why Re-dubbed Tracks?.......2007-04-17

Everything's fine on here except my favorite Buddy Holly song, "'Cryin', Waitin' Hopin'". It really upsets me that I can no longer find the original on any CD. All you can find is the overdub that was done several years later using a backing band called "The Picks" (I think they are members of the original Fireballs, whom I like doing their own music). Missing is the chorus of "doop doop do" and the original guitar & bass backing. If you can't find the original, the live BBC performance by the Beatles mimics it very closely. I'm disappointed that they can't stick to original releases. Did they lose the master? can't they find a clean original disk to copy? I guess most of you wouldn't know the difference, but the one on the 45 is much superior. I know...it's only one song...but it was my song.

Take it from a Buddy Holly freak..........2007-03-20

You can not call yourself a true Buddy Holly fan if this 2-disc set is NOT in your collection. This is a must have in order to fully "get" Buddy, of course you have to overlook some of the background vocals (thanks Norman Petty!) but nevertheless, get this collection, you will not regret it-you have this Buddy Holly Freak's word for it!

The music never fades away.......2007-03-07

When one thinks of Buddy Holly, Don Mclean's "American Pie" comes to mind, the day the music died. But by listening to the two-cd disc, The Buddy Holly Collection, listeners can hear that his music is alive and well. Holly is yet another musician who passed away at such a young age, 22, but he used his time wisely by producing a good dose of records that noticeably developed in such a short time. Holly's music transcended popular music, especially during the 1950s, and his sound is distinct in that he not only possessed the twanging Fender guitar-oriented sound, but added piano and string arrangements, and rhythm and blues in a rock and roll song before they came into vogue during the 1960s. The 60's had the music genius of the Beatles and Brian Wilson and the 50's had Buddy Holly.

The first few tracks of the first disc are covered with energy-driven rockabilly flair and Elvis-like vocals. From the instrumental "Holly Hop," "Rock Around With Ollie Vee," and a rendition of Chuck Berry's "Brown Eyed Handsome Man," Buddy gets the listener's feet tapping. However, it is his "That'll Be the Day" and "Peggy Sue" that many are familiar with. But listening to his "Words of Love," one can see that Holly was indeed with the Beatles when they recorded their version on Beatles For Sale as well as "Crying, Waiting, Hoping" on their BBC live recording.

The second disc sounds the most timeless. Several of the songs have a folk-like quality, "Well Alright" and "Wishing." "Think it Over" has the Buddy Holly hiccup-vocal trait and pounding piano solo. And "Early in the Morning" is the most soulful track on the album, where Holly sings praise with intense energy and execution. But the highlight of this disc thus far is the legendary and sentimental "True Love Ways."

In essence, Buddy Holly and his counterpart and influence, Elvis Presley, were the predecessors of rock and roll music, but Holly's contribution to this genre of music helped to influence young musicians. Hence this is definitely a collection that all rock and roll fans should own as well as those who enjoy listening to how popular music has evolved.

Oldie but a Goodie Buddy Holly.......2007-03-16

Very nice small collection for those who don't know much about this singer's short but very influential career!

A Darn Good Collection!.......2006-08-20

I'll Rave On about how wonderful Buddy Holly's work was and how delightful this collection is. He was a one of the Pioneers of Rock & Roll and no doubt influenced countless artists along the way. In early 1965 the Beatles did "Words of Love," as a nod to this incredibly talented man.

Don't just take our word for it - just get this collection!

Get the two-disc Buddy Holly collection instead.......2003-07-30

In the mid-late fifties, Buddy Holly and the Crickets came onto the emerging rock and roll scene. Unfortunately in 1959, just as Holly began to reach star status, his life was cut tragically short, in a plane crash that also claimed the lives of the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens. It's been forty years. How does Holly's music measure up by today's standards? Quite well, surprisingly? Read on to see how well the Twentieth Century Masters collection represents Holly.

THE GOOD:

You get several of Holly's biggest hits here, on a single disc. These include That'll Be The Day, Words Of Love, Everyday, Peggy Sue, Not Fade Away, Maybe Baby, Oh Boy, It's So Easy, True Love Ways, and It Doesn't Matter Anymore. These songs are nothing short of excellent.

THE BAD:

WAY TOO MANY SONGS ARE MISSIG IN ACTION! Where are Fool's Paradise, Well All Right, Heartbeat, Wishing, Peggy Sue Got Married, Crying Waiting Hoping, Learning The Game, and What To Do? And why doesn't the CD come anywhere near filling the eighty minutes that will fit on a single disc?

OVERALL:

Don't bother with this CD unless you can find it in the budget bin. Take my advice and shell out the extra cash for the two-disc Buddy Holly Collection. It costs a little more, but it's worth it.

a little lacking.......2003-07-19

this is a good cd to buy if you're not a huge fan of buddy's because you'll get his well-known songs which sound great. but it's lacking some of his other songs which, although they're not as popular, are just as good. so i found this collection to be a bit of a disappointment. there are other cds out there with a better offering of buddy's true talent.

A must have for any Rock-and-Roller!.......2002-02-22

I never quite realized how many great songs Buddy Holly had recorded in his very short lifetime until I got this CD. Rave On, It Doesn't Matter Anymore, Every Day, and True Love Ways are all fantastic -- yet all the current radio stations only concentrate on his famous "Peggy Sue" cut. For such a low $$ amount for this CD, you can't go wrong!

The title's baloney. Sure, some of Buddy Guy's most blistering guitar playing has been captured on his '90s recordings for Silvertone, but with albums like Muddy Waters's 1964 Folk Singer and his own 1967 solo debut A Man & the Blues on his résumé, Guy's status as a Chicago blues giant was assured long before his 1991 comeback Damn Right, I've Got the Blues. Nonetheless, that tune, the instrumental tribute "Remembering Stevie" (for the late guitar-slinger Vaughan), "Five Long Years," and the previously unissued "Miss Ida B" testify that at age 65 Guy still possesses rare depth and fire. His singing is big and soulful, capable of cheerleading a party or hurtling down to the depths of Delta blues heartache. His six-stringing remains wildly inventive and unpredictable, even on slight numbers like "She's a Superstar." And the inclusion of blatant stabs at the pop charts such as his "Midnight Train" duet with Jonny Lang take nothing away from the passion he puts into true blues performances like "I Need Your Love So Bad" and "Innocent Man," leftovers from earlier sessions that surface here. Baddest or not, this CD spotlights one of our greatest bluesmen in fine form. --Ted Drozdowski

Customer Reviews:

oh yeah.......2007-03-29

I like "Damn Right, I've Got the Blues" better, but this is still great. I loved Stevie Ray Vaughn, and since Buddy played at the last concert Stevie ever gave, I looked forward to hearing the instrumental tribute to him. I wasn't disappointed. Anybody who thinks Chicago blues is always loud and driving should listen hard to that one. Like any great music, there's more than one way to be blue. Yeah, Buddy.

Rick "Shaq" Goldstein says: "Do not read this review, unless YOU LOVE THE BLUES!!".......2007-01-21

Do you love the blues? I said, DO YOU LOVE THE BLUES? If you don't, then this CD is not for you! This CD was made for blues lovers. From the first guttural.. From the first growl.. From the first screeching.. Lyrics from Buddy: "DAMN RIGHT, I'VE GOT THE BLUES!" You are on your way to a blues experience. You don't get to warm up! You don't get to pace yourself! From Buddy's first exulted, words of "blues", you are hooked into a blues experience, that there's no getting out of! For those of you who are blues neophytes, in the electric blues world, Buddy, said that Stevie Ray Vaughn, was his best friend, and like a brother to him. With this knowledge, pay special attention to song #4, "Remembering Stevie". It's an instrumental that Buddy wrote in memory of Stevie, after his untimely death. This CD is a testament to one of the all-time greatest electric blues guitar performers... Mr. Buddy Guy. 5 stars for now and forever.

The Master of the Blues.......2006-07-27

Buddy Guy is "The Master of the Blues." He glides his fingers over his guitar like the wind showing his expertise with every note. I've seen him once in person and he made a lifetime impression on me. Buddy's Baddest will fill you with the energetic life force of a Buddy Guy concert.

The #3 best blues guitarist?.......2005-05-20

buddy guy always seems to get third billing behind eric clapton and b.b. king, but this collection of songs is certainly an excellent sampler of why he is always mentioned in the same breath with those other 2 lads !!!!! it is an excellent introduction to one very exciting and inventive blues guitarist (go visit his nightclub in chicago and check out all the autographed guitars on the walls)
these songs sizzle: "mustang sally" takes off like a rocket, "midnight train" really rocks, and the bass line on "damn right" is a killer. even the slow tunes are hot.if you are a hobbyist, this is a great collection of blues tunes to play along to. also great for listening to in the car by yourself- where you can play it LOUD !!!!!

Buddy's Bad.......................2004-11-14

I just bought Buddy's Baddest: The Best Of Buddy Guy at fye music for $20. I really did'nt care about the price because I had already previewed the songs at fye and new this album stood presence of greatness like Buddy Guy. This is my first buddy guy album I have been for so long been listening to Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughan never came across Buddy until now........... The first track Damn Right, I've Got The Blues is just an amazing track filled with so much potenial, soul, and power in Buddy's guitar solo. And I have to say all of the tracks have buddy guy playing some great guitar solo's which is what us guitar, blues fans want right? I also liked Rememberin'Stevie. This album is a must have. Buddy Guy can really play!

The Chicago blues legend's recent divorce is weighing on his mind, if "Somebody's Been Sleeping in My Bed" and "Now You're Gone" are to be believed. That's bad for Buddy Guy, but good for his fans, who, on these contemplative, regretful numbers, get treated to some of Guy's most sweetly improvisational and melodic guitar since his '60s hallmark A Man and the Blues. There's slash 'n' burn, too, as he gunfights with Carlos Santana on "I Put a Spell on You" and squeezes pure heart from his strings teaming with John Mayer on "I've Got Dreams to Remember." Guy also plays prettily and trades vocals with Tracy Chapman on a rote but right "Ain't No Sunshine," although Robert Randolph and Keith Richards are slight on "Lay Lady Lay" and "The Price You Gotta Pay," respectively. Guy hasn't cut this many classics in a while, but he channels enough raw, emotional sensitivity to make the oldies sound like they're pumping fresh blood. --Ted Drozdowski

Customer Reviews:

Very Uneven-Not Enough Blues.......2007-06-20

I love the Blues and Buddy Guy, but not every song on here is a gem or even the blues.

My favorite song on here is the Tracy Chapman "Ain't No Sunshine" song, but it isn't exactly the blues.

The blues numbers I like are "Cheaper to Keep Her" and "Cut You Loose", but even those are not his best.

Damn Right, He's Still the Best.......2007-06-19

The first six tracks off of Buddy Guy's "Bring 'Em In" explode out of your speakers like a rocket ship -- fitting for a guitarist who continues to soar at an age when most strummers tend to lower their volume.

If "Sweet Tea," Buddy's much-heralded previous album, was the raw, tortured sound of an ancient bluesman wrestling with the devil and evil women, his latest release finds him in sunnier spirits -- sort of.

He's still ruing lost loves, of course, both on the opening track, "Now You're Gone," and later on with the anxious "Somebody's Been Sleeping In My Bed." But then he's off like a hound dog, attacking Wilson Pickett's "Ninety Nine and One Half" and "What Kind of Woman Is This" with incredible fire. Both songs are filled with grooves from a bygone era and worth multiple listens.

Razor-sharp solos cut through most of the songs, including the rollicking "On A Saturday Night" and the Carlos Santana joint wah-wah fest that is "I Put A Spell On You."

The second half of the album regretfully meanders. A duet with Tracy Chapman on "Ain't No Sunshine" inexplicably fails to catch fire, and Buddy clearly stumbles on a mawkish cover of "Lay Lady Lay" and "I've Got Dreams to Remember." Minor quibbles, though. Buddy's inviting us in for a jam session, and it would foolish to turn him down.

Smoother Guy Tells Us To "Bring 'Em In".......2007-06-04

Buddy Guy is so good at guitar shredding that it takes us aback when we hear him playing smooth, mellow, and laidback, which is what he does on "Bring 'Em In."

Guy does some interesting covers, and has some high-powered guest stars on this record. He covers "I Put A Spell On You," "Lay Lady Lay(Guy covers Dylan?)" "Cheaper To Keep Her," and " Do Your Thing." Joining him ove various cuts are Carlos Santana, Keith Richards, and John Mayer.

Guy's playing is a lot more subdued on this record, but it's no less compelling or thrilling. Guy always delivers the goods, and "Bring 'Em In" is no exception. This is definitely worth checking out.

Not the best Buddy Guy out there..........2007-05-25

This CD has a great band, great production and a star studded cast, that's all the things that probably make it sell, but make me not enjoy it. Buddy is great and his solos are great, but I like him best when I can close my eyes and I'm transported to a little smokey club somewhere and I'm just listening to that raw guitar, way out in front, just peelin' the paint off the walls. I guess this is an attempt to make some dough and sell some records to the pseudo blues fans, but I'd go for Stone Crazy, Blues Singer, and Sweet Tea, those all rock in their own rights.

Bring 'Em In.......2007-05-14

didn't know much about Buddy Guy before I got this CD - it's full-tilt blues-rock and sweet melodies with great lyrics and vocals - Buddy Guy is truly amazing - Eric Clapton credits him with being the musician he emulated - can see why - catch him live too - at 71 he looks 20 YR younger and as absolutely phenomenal

Customer Reviews:

Roots..........2007-02-04

This is a great album (cd) but for those who aren't in the know, Miles spent a considerable amount of time in Omaha and the aforementioned Paul B. Allen had a little jazz spot called 'Allen's Showcase' on the near North side of town, 23rd and Lake St.. When Buddy was refining his chops he could always depend on Mr. Allen to allow him to sit in and generally stay close to the pulse of the scene. Many greats were either coming through or living, yes, in Omaha, Nebraska. Buddy never forgot the man that gave him a chance when others were doubting his skills and ability, well I guess he showed them...

Buddy Miles/Them Changes.......2007-01-10

I first bought the LP back in the 70's (and still have it) and was blown away by it's funkiness. The only problem with the original album was the sound quality. The horns especially were over modulated to the point of hurtin' the ear drums! Even Buddy's voice sounded scratchy on a few cuts but the sound on the cd is so clear without any sound quality loss at all! So after years of searching I found it on Amazon and it was worth the wait!!

rare find.......2007-01-08

I was shocked when my search for the Buddy Miles "Them Changes" album actually came back with a remastered CD. The quality is really good for an overseas version and the songs just can't get any better...

Them changes "Buddy Miles".......2006-07-09

The CD was Excellent, sound was out of this world, and the shipment was very fast.

Therapy for the Rhythmically Challenged.......2006-03-31

Go ahead, but with caution, when a parent is reminiscent upon their own rock history. For years I've heard my mom talk about "the Buddy Miles concert." The other day I grabbed this and a copy for dear old mom, put it on in the car and tempted the windows to burst. If you listen to the title track you will have either heard it, think you have heard it before, or wish you had heard it sooner. Subject matter goes from loving a woman, to shooting one, but there's no denying the groove, the horns, the funk, the soul, the rock. Former drummer for Hendrix, on "Electric Ladyland" in Band of Gypsy's, and before that even with Wilson Pickett, the man is no foreigner to an overdriven guitar or a battery of brass. He wields both with knowledge and intensity which will render your public shame helpless as you rock your car at stoplights and all point between. What to do with one's body in the presence of such funk is the common foreign language experience for the rhythmically challenged everywhere. But I will struggle with the lapbelt as often as this disc is in the tray.
