![]() I really hope that, on his next album, he's allowed just to be himself, with his regular band. Let's face it, fellow Weenies, the man is over seventy years old, and while he seems to be in great health, none of us know if we'll make it to seventy-five. He promised three years ago, after the release of "Bring 'Em In", that his next album would be pure Buddy Guy. It's such a shame that Buddy's record company won't let him just be himself. The stand-out tracks on this brand new disc are "Lyin' Like A Dog", which is one of the best songs Buddy has ever recorded (!), "Out In The Woods" with Robert Randolph, and the closer, "I Found Happiness". Personally, I don't like anything Eric Clapton has recorded since 1992 or 1994, and I really didn't want to hear him on this album. Unfortunately, this album is much like his last one, meaning there are three or four excellent electric Blues songs, and a bunch of Blues-Rock and pop music that features duets with someone. Well, I waited three years to hear the album that was supposedly going to let Buddy just be Buddy, and play his heart out.
