The particular story of Buddy Guy illustrates a general history of blues music spreading among working class Black folk in the South, and generating a migration of future blues musicians to Northern cities like Chicago to find a chance to better themselves economically -- and possibly make a living by playing music. The many musical interludes provide excellent illustrations of the story that Buddy Guy tells in his own voice. The story shows how Buddy Guy and his fellow musicians took risks and endured hardships to realize their musical ambitions. This program filled in gaps in my understanding of how the blues moved from the south to the north. It contains information that contradicts certain common misconceptions. For example, Buddy Guy was not introduced to blues music as folk music sung while picking cotton. Rather, it was the spread of electricity, and thus phonographs, that led people like Buddy Guy to listen to recordings of the blues that had been made in cities, and then become motivated to learn to play the blues. The program follows Buddy Guy into the studies of Chess Records, where he met the Rolling Stones. Buddy talks about certain restrictive effects that studio record producers had on his otherwise more idiosyncratic and adventuresome style when on stage. So, this program gives the blues aficionado insight into why particular Buddy Guy performances sound the way they do. And, Buddy talks about the hazards of the music business and the need for musicians to look out for their own interests. So, there is practical information there for the newcomers to the business. Buddy Guy's warmth and openness make this a very appealing program. I highly recommend it for audiences that have some interest in the blues, and/or in Black History in the U.S.
