It’ll be interesting to hear that new Buddy Guy. Those are some heavy hitters with him…the Robert Randolph collab should be fun to hear.

Lucky enough to score a Advanced Copy of “Skin Deep”…Nice Balanced disc with a nice variety of sounds. May not make all the purists happy, (though there’s some “Classic Buddy” on this one, but it’s certain to make the masses happier. This one’s a keeper, well worth having in your Buddy collection-now go out and buy it….

yep, i got an advanced copy too…..a lot like the last record (though I think the guests on this one are a lot better), some good songs, some great songs, though the purists are gotta cry bloody murder again……..also the Avett Brothers record is really, really good….especially “Murder In the City”
