    Wow. What a ''passing of the torch'' moment. And look now how many blues genres Buddy seems to have lived thru. He touched the originals and he's still with us today.

    • @zoso1980

      Too bad Buddy now is more interested in money and appealing to money than keeping it authentic. His modern stuff sounds like rock. It's truly sad.

      as if rock isn't already blues and making a good living is a bad thing. buddy guy is the best! aware of his musical ancestors and descendants, not inhibited about the past or apprehensive of the future -- he's got the big picture which includes his garden, home cooking, rock'n'roll and a decent bank account. his music has always bridged bb king, james brown and jimi hendrix. he has the utmost of musical integrity and we are lucky to have him as an elder statesman of the blues. Viva Buddy Guy, baby!!

      Brian, rock isn't blues to me. It's an insult to the blues to water it down like that. The two don't intersect at all. Blues' history based on people of color and their struggles. Rock is essentially showing off to get laid. One is authentic, one is not. The commericalized crap has trashed the realness and authenticy of blues to appeal to the rock crowd. Just look at the many of the embarrassing blues festivals all over country. Many of them rock wanker fests. And Buddy in his desire for gold bling bling has gone right after it. What a waste of a talent to pander to the rock crowd. He's become an insult to Son House, speaking straight and honest. The brother done sold out to the bling bling NOT 'the big picture.' His big picture is profiting of people like you. Meanwhile he pisses on the depth, honesty and specialness of the blues. Make money, fine. Just don't try to sell yourself as blues when you've gone after SRV schmucks.

      @Stephanie Sandlin: "Blues' history based on people of color and their struggles."
      Spoken like a true musical ignoramus. Charley Patton, the FATHER of Mississippi Delta blues was of mixed race ancestry; white, black, and American Indian. Quit trying to take ownership of everything. As Longfellow said "Music is the universal language of mankind."
      "Just look at the many of the embarrassing blues festivals all over the country."
      The only thing "embarrassing" is how dumbed down modern black "music" has become. You have an entire generation of morons that think "rap", a format in which virtually no one can either (a) sing or (b) play an instrument (much less write lyrics beyond a 3rd grade level), constitutes "music". Fortunately, the white people have almost single-handedly kept the blues (and jazz) alive.

    I'm a huge Son House fan and blues purist, and I absolutely love this video. I take his backing more like a guy playing with his elderly father. Son didn't have the same musical chops he did like when he was in his 40's on the Library of Congress recordings. So Buddy is giving him a solid backing, giving Son the freedom to wail like he's used to.
    You can hear it on his old recordings with a band, he's the singer. He sounds right at home when he's playing with his boys. On the revival recordings he sounds great when playing with someone else as well, and this is no different.

      Son's voice was a powerful as ever on his revival recordings, but you're right that he wasn't nearly as fast as he was on the LOC and Paramount recordings from back in his prime, especially compared to the likes of "Preachin' the Blues" or "My Black Mama."

    Buddy Guy was the “little brother” to all of the OG blues musicians from way back in the day. Buddy Guy and Taj Mahal are the last two true bluesmen, and it’s so bittersweet to realize that. Those two legends are the last link to such an important part of this country’s musical heritage. ❤

      I couldn't dislike the video because, hey it's Son House. However, Buddy Guy is stepping all over Son House with his noodling and jamming in of notes. Son House' style is one of space so he can project his emotion and feeling over his guitar rhythm. Guy denies House that and competes with him for space. It's disrespectful and to me and reaffirms some of the core reasons why I don't like Guy - he's a really a rock guy and jams notes in like a guitar wanker. The one place I'd expect him to GET to not jam and cram notes - playing with Son House - he did it.
