I hope that this album will be a landmark in blues recording and prompt others to try the same experiment. Most successful and very satisfying. ALAN BALFOUR Cream Magazine (April 1971. p.44) First of all, great review Alan. I'm sure if you were in the minority at the time, that was a refreshing review! Thanks for sharing. Sadly, if you ask 10 blues fans about Buddy, 9 or 10 will say Buddy is purely electric guitar!

From memory the beef with most reviews was that the first two tracks on side one (9:50 & 7.27 mins) almost took up the entire first side of the LP. They probably weren't too pleased with the front and reverse cover designs either, especially the reverse which depicted the three sitting in that perambulator. Attachments:

Sorry to be so obtuse. Here's a scan of the graphic on reverse. Attachments:

He has several acoustic recordings; I like all of them. Buddy and the Juniors is excellent.
If you haven't been following his recent output, his last three studio recordings have been quite strong--Living Proof, Rhythm & Blues, and Born to Play the Guitar. Edit out a few tracks (generally, the tracks with guest artists), and you have some of his best recordings.
