Buddy Guy (Jul 30, 1936, Lettsworth, LA) is name-checked on the cover of "Freak Out!" (1966) under the heading "These People Have Contributed Materially In Many Ways To Make Our Music What It Is. Please Do Not Hold It Against Them". Blues guitarist/singer. At the time considered one of the blues "young lions". High-energy guitar histrionics and boundless onstage energy have always been Guy trademarks, along with a tortured vocal style that's nearly as distinctive as his incendiary rapid-fire fretwork. Guy's reputation among "rock guitar gods" such as Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughan was unsurpassed.
