According to Eric Clapton; John Mayer; and the late Stevie Ray Vaughn; Buddy Guy is the greatest blues guitarist of all time. An enormous influence on these musicians as well as Jimi Hendrix; Jimmy Page; and Jeff Beck; he is the living embodiment of Chicago blues. Guys epic story stands at the absolute nexus of modern blues. He came to Chicago from rural Louisiana in the fiftiesmdash;the very moment when urban blues were electrifying our culture. He was a regular session player at Chess Records. Willie Dixon was his mentor. He was a sideman in the bands of Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf. He and Junior Wells formed a band of their own. In the sixties; he became a recording star in his own right.When I Left Home tells Guys picaresque story in his own unique voice; that of a storyteller who remembers everything; including blues masters in their prime and the exploding; evolving culture of music that happened all around him.
