New Buddy Guy - "Blues Singer"

Anyone else heard this? "Blues Singer", named in tribute to Muddy Water's "Folk Singer" which Buddy played on. This is a fantastic cd. The recording is excellent. I turned it up to a somewhat loud(so says my wife) level, and from the first moment of the first song, "Hard Time Killing Floor", it sounded as if Buddy were in my living room. This album is acoustic with five songs featuring only Buddy on guitar/vocals and Jimbo Mathus on guitar. The second song is John Lee Hooker's "Crawlin' Kingsnake". It has Eric Clapton and BB King as guests. That's right - BB King acoustic. Highly reccomended!

I finally got a copy of this and sat down for a serious listen. I like Buddy Guy in general, and this is a fantastic recording in many regards, but I've got to be honest and say that there are several songs on the album that start out with a ton of promise, my foot starts tapping, and as soon as Buddy opens his mouth I want him to just leave the damn room and I can't stop my hand from reaching for the remote to skip to the next track.

Certainly not a waste of $9.00, but now that I've listened to it I know why I was able to find it in the used CD section already-
