Product Description
Its erroneous to characterize this 2008 Buddy Guy release, his first in three years, as a comeback, since hes never been gone. But between a spotlight stealing performance in Martin Scorseses Rolling Stones concert flick Shine a Light in the same year and the appearance of Skin Deep, Guy has returned to the crossover arena as the magnetic and dynamic blues journeyman he has always been. Drop the laser anywhere on these dozen tunes, all but five authored or co-penned by the Chicago guitarist, and its like a blast of hot wind in the face. Even with drummer Tom Hambriges somewhat slick production, Guy is in your face, spitting out words with strutting swagger and peeling off molten licks that leave smoldering scars. Guests such as Derek Trucks and Eric Clapton seem like an afterthought, yet the formers sensitive slide work on the titular ballad brings a crying gospel quality to the song. Trucks wife, Susan Tedeschi, makes a vibrant vocal foil on the mid-tempo "Too Many Tears," an obvious single. Roots guitar fans will thrill at the six-string intensity of the ferocious slow blues "Out in the Woods" where Guy unleashes torrents of raw sound that make this disc so consistently riveting and a highlight in the legends extensive catalog. --Hal Horowitz
Skin Deep is the 2008 release by Buddy Guy. The album features The Memphis Horns, Willie Mitchell,Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Eric Clapton, Robert Randolph and Quinn Sullivan.

"Skin Deep - it hits a homerun!!!!! "
Written By: Willie S. Tyndall Jr.
I love Buddy's work - and this album reflects the maturity I love in the great blues players. This album has all the right stuff - edgy rocky blues to classically styled tunes. The guest is list includes Eric Clapton and Robert Randolph - like having three generations of blues on one album. Buy it, buy it, buy it!!!!!!
"Buddy is Tight and His Playing Is His Best NOW"
Written By: Michael Sherrer
I am on the fly-just have to rave how much better Buddy sounds with his singing and guitar playing. Buy it.

Clapton has been a teacher to the teacher-as BG has great time in his solos-

I like how BG lists all the solo guitars on each track.

Get it.
