Very good documentary, what a humble man, can't wait to see him in October when he comes to my town!

I still can´t get over this track...
it´s one of the darkest, dirtiest and
meanest sounds I have heard in decades,
if not ever...

That whole album, except the first song, has that same vibe.

Great documentary. Buddy is a national treasure. I got to hang out with him once. Very nice man!

He's one of those artists getting their due late in life. But he doesn't seem bitter. I have his most recent album, 'The Blues is Alive and Well'. Fantastic stuff. He seems to get better, as a vocalist, and guitarist, as he ages.

It was a fantastic show!
Saw Buddy twice, really got insight into him and where he comes from musically.

Unfortunately it's not available in Holland
Can somebody post it here in mp4 or mkv?

Saw him open for BB once, as well as one of his last shows with Junior Wells, Koko Taylor and Lonnie Brooks were also on the bill.

No disrespect to BB but it's Buddy I remember most, he's a hard act to follow!

Was a great show all around but Buddy stood out. Can't even count how many times I've see him since he was so impressive.

He has a wild side that Hendrix seems to have absorbed and expanded on.

Carlos Santana once said that if Buddy had taken LSD he would've been Jimi Hendrix. Also, Jimi once cancelled a show so he could go see Buddy. Can't remember where I read it a long time ago but both those statements made an impression.
