Buddy Guy
 Thanks to a long instrumental tribute to his late friend
Stevie Ray Vaughan, and to a crowd-pleasing version of Wilson Pickett's
"Mustang Sally," this album renewed the Chicago's blues legend's
commercial power. After laying out his new straightforward credo on the title
track, Buddy Guy improvises furiously on "Black Night" and "Five
Long Years." Some fans say the album was one of the few times Guy truly
captured his live fury on record, but this 1991 album didn't even try to do
that. It was simply an attempt to expose himself to a contemporary blues
audience, and it worked. --Steve Knopper
