    wow, what a disc... this old guy, creates a great bluesy album. The Song "Where the Blues begin" feature Santana and the song "Stay around a little longer" with the King of Blues BB King are the i-point for this tasty album. thanks and ...everybody's got to go... I hope you don't

    Even if the songs aren't much more than workmanlike, they're good enough to showcase the man's still mighty roar and shattering guitar playing. [Jan 2011, p.142]

    Whilst Living Proof is very much the blues, Buddy Guy's solos give this a rawness that swells with discord, and the result feels more akin to the avant-garde guitar days of Sonic Youth and Shellac.

    There are lots of martial bust-ups and squalls of fretboard fury that show that Buddy may be old but he's still wild. [Jan 2011, p.88]
