Even if Buddy Guy is on this one in the back, and I doubt he is, his playing here wouldn't be characterist of why people think he's great. Nothing wrong with just chugging along but that was never BG's thing. In fact he's lacks so much structure in his playing only he could get away with it. He makes Jimmy Reed sound tight at times.

Under-rated album, from it's time. My fave track at the time was Madison Blues ......... shoes! Thanks for posting this, for a blast from my past . Cheers!

I just got back from Honey's memorial benefit concert @ Buddy Guy's club in the south Loop in Chicago. Much music and many stories about the last remaining link to Robert Johnson and the Delta blues. I also saw Mr. Edwards play at a small club called The Hideout on Wabansia several times. I was lucky enough to make friends with David's manager, Michael Frank which enabled me to get to know 'Honey' as Michael referred to him. Those two were touring partners since '72 when they met in Rogers Pk.

Eu adoro o som da guitarra no Blues !!!

Definetly no Buddy Guy on this.
-
@shrine52 That's correct this song stands alone on the CD box and not on the
release on the org LP

The vocals on this track are COMPLETELY OUTRAGEOUS! Honeyboy sounds like he just got off from a days' work in the fields and is tapping his foot on the dirt floor in the barn. Super! The opening slide is indeed just like Elmore James. It is identical to the opening notes of "Dust My Broom."

the vrsion of Like It This Way on this album is untouchable, you wont catch a dual guitar partnership like it ever again

Great to hear this, wouldn't we have loved to have been there.
gamoonboat, I was talking about the guitar, well anyway, it sounds extremely Elmore James-esque, whoever it was did good at sounding more or less exactly like Elmore James

Jeremy Spencer (the old vocalist/slide guitarest) for Fleetwood Mac was extremely influenced by James. They even covered a couple of his songs. It's very alike.

Yeah Honeyboy was playing on this. He appeared as a guest performer on a lot of stuff. You can't find too much of his playing anymore. One of the delta guys who's still alive.

Buddy Guy is not on that LP. I own the old double-LP. Guitar Buddy is different. And Buddy Guy is not the sort to have sat around in the background strumming. And that sure ain't Buddy Guy singing. Nice, though.

I have the cd's, and when I put it on my computer it said buddy guy as the artist, with the others.
