Damn Right, I’ve Got the Blues

Released in 1991, 'Damn Right, I’ve Got the Blues' served as a massive commercial and critical comeback for Buddy Guy, effectively revitalizing his career and introducing him to a new generation of rock fans. Produced by John Porter, the album features a polished but powerful sound that highlights Guy’s signature 'wild' guitar style. The record is notable for its high-profile guest appearances, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Mark Knopfler, yet Guy remains the undisputed center of gravity. It won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album and is often credited with sparking a blues revival in the early 1990s. The tracklist balances classic covers like 'Mustang Sally' with deeply personal originals and the poignant 'Rememberin’ Stevie,' an instrumental dedicated to the recently departed Stevie Ray Vaughan. It stands as the essential bridge between traditional Chicago blues and modern blues-rock.
