Buddy Guy

Buddy Guy (nascido George Guy, em 30 de julho de 1936 em Lettsworth, Louisiana) é um guitarrista e cantor norte-americano de blues e rock. Conhecido por servir de inspiração para Jimi Hendrix e outras lendas dos anos 60, Guy é considerado um importante expoente do chamado Chicago blues, tornado famoso por Muddy Waters e Howlin' Wolf.

Tinha cinco irmãos e seus pais eram Sam e Isabel Guy. Cresceu sob os conflitos da segregação racial onde banheiros, restaurantes e assentos de ônibus eram separados para brancos e negros. Com sete anos de idade Buddy fez a sua primeira “guitarra”, um pedaço de madeira com duas cordas amarradas com os grampos de cabelo de sua mãe. Com ela passava o tempo nas plantações e desenvolvia as suas “técnicas” musicais. Depois ele ganhou a sua primeira guitarra de “verdade”, um violão acústico Harmony que hoje se encontra no Hall da Fama do Rock and Roll, em Cleveland, nos EUA.

Em 25 de setembro de 1957 Buddy saiu de Lettsworth e chegou em Chicago. O choque foi grande, saindo do ambiente rural e chegando na metrópole totalmente urbana. Buddy arrumou um emprego e após alguns meses conseguiu uma audiência no 708 Club. Naquela noite chegou ao clube, em um Chevrolet vermelho, nada menos que Muddy Waters. Buddy foi servir sanduíche de salame para ele que perguntou se ele estava com fome. Buddy respondeu que, se ele era Muddy Waters, não estava mais com fome, encontrá-lo o alimentou.

Enquanto a música de Buddy Guy é freqüentemente associada ao blues de Chicago, seu estilo é único e inconfundível. Sua música pode variar desde o mais tradicional e profundo blues, à mais criativa, imprevisível e radical agregação entre blues, rock moderno e jazz livre, que se juntam a cada performance ao vivo de maneira inédita.

Suas músicas foram regravadas por Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayall, Jack Bruce, entre outros. Algumas de suas primeiras canções foram “roubadas” por Willie Dixon e pelas primeiras gravadoras por onde Guy passou.
