Buddy Guy Heavy Love
Label : Silvertone
Released : 1998
Format : [email protected]
Heavy Love was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album. Following a trilogy of records that solidified Buddy Guy's early 90's comeback, Heavy Love shows off the funkier side of this blues legend, with a few modern touches tossed into the mix. Heavy Love with former Prince sideman David Z as a producer, Guy's updated touches include using a syncopated, hip-hoppy rhythm track on the blues standard "I Just Want To Make Love To You." Although he's known for playing with a ferocity that's influenced everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Eric Clapton, Guy's playing is more economical this time out.
