About
Buddy Guy, Electric blues from Lettsworth to Chicago and beyond since 1936.
Over 20 vinyl releases, featuring originals and audiophile pressings; key albums show Buddy Guy's influence on Chicago blues.
Starting his musical journey in the segregated South, Buddy Guy crafted a homemade guitar at 13 and later received his first real two-string guitar at 16. He played with notable bluesmen in Baton Rouge before relocating to Chicago in 1957. In Chicago, he honed his craft, recording extensively with Chess Records and performing alongside legends like Muddy Waters and Otis Rush. His 1960s and 1970s recordings include Chicago blues classics. After a quieter period in the 1980s, he revived his career in the 1990s with new albums and tours, reaffirming his status as a pivotal figure in blues history.
His vinyl catalog on Vinyles.com includes recent audiophile releases like the 2025 double LP "Ain't Done With The Blues," alongside classic studio albums and live recordings.
