Music reviews of Living Proof
Music Review: RICK "SHAQ" GOLDSTEIN SAYS: "THIS MY BROTHER... IS WHAT ELECTRIC BLUES IS ALL ABOUT!!**
Rating: 5 Stars
Though Buddy dedicates this CD to the fact that he's *SEVENTY-FOUR-YEARS-OLD*... his one of a kind electric blues performance says more than words can ever hope to... that he is absolutely ageless. His emanating power... song selection... which melds lyrics... voice... and mind boggling electrical guitar dominance... speaks of a man one-third his age with blues talent that has to come straight from the Lord. Way before you've even finished listening to this instant electric blues classic for the first time... a true lover of electric blues is thinking and praying way past the obvious next move of playing it again... you're selfishly dreaming of his next CD.
His voice and enthusiasm are a marvel unto itself... and as a lifetime electric blues lover I can wholeheartedly say that the way he bends the strings and squeezes out a sound... that one can easily imagine being similar to a muscular blacksmith or iron worker reshaping steel girders into musical electric blues with the mere strength of his hands.
1) 74 YEARS YOUNG - Buddy tells you "WHEN IT COMES TO LOVIN I AIN'T EVER DONE. I'M SEVENTY-FOUR-YEARS-YOUNG". His power will make anyone a believer.
2) THANK ME SOMEDAY - This has a John Lee Hooker "Boom-Boom" beat and Buddy proceeds to tell you the story of his youth in Louisiana.
3) ON THE ROAD - Foot tapping-guitar snapping. *CARS/MY BABY/THUNDER & LIGHTNING-UNDER-THE-HOOD* on the road. Coincidentally there's *THUNDER & LIGHTNING* in Buddy's guitar.
4) STAY AROUND A LITTLE LONGER - Soft, sweet and mellow. Buddy and B.B. King. Reminiscent of B.B.'s CD "Blues On The Bayou". Note: the video (not part of this CD package) is priceless with the body language and expressions of these two blues titans. Telling each other that they both sound good and they're buddies.
5) KEY DON'T FIT - Electric blues power at full throttle! Buddy's voice has been to the fountain of youth, and he must have super human strength... because he snaps those guitar strings like they're molten steel girders.
6) LIVING PROOF - Roadhouse-stomping-blues. *SNARLING GUITAR* with background chorus reminiscent of Ray Charles's Raeletts. You could bottle up the kinetic energy in this song and light an entire city!
7) WHERE THE BLUES BEGINS - With Carlos Santana. A straight blues ballad.
8) TOO SOON - Back to foot stomping. Almost like the sound Jerry Lee Lewis would make if he played a guitar instead of a piano.
9) EVERYBODY'S GOT TO GO - A ballad very similar to *SKIN DEEP*. A very good searing guitar.
10) LET THE DOOR KNOB HIT YA - Rockin' blues with Buddy telling you like only Buddy can... TO GET OUT! "LET THE DOOR KNOB HIT YA... MY DAMx DOG SHOULDA BIT YA!"
11) GUESS WHAT - Want to know what blues guitar **SHOULD-SOUND LIKE?** Then listen to this. "SMELL LIKE A RAT" "GUESS WHAT? YOUR LITTLE SISTER WANTS TO TRY ME ON!" Buddy is an unleashed electric blues dynamo!
12) SKANKY - If you doubt anything I've said about Buddy's string bending guitar PREEMINENCE listen to this instrumental. Three sounds to keep in your soul whenever you dream of the way an electric blues guitar should sound: **ALBERT KING** - **STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN** - **BUDDY GUY**
