Buddy GuyHeavy Love

Funk-tinged grooves, concise solos, and vocals that bark and plead across tight, off-kilter songs. Midnight Train pairs Guy with a teenage Jonny Lang in a smoldering duet. I Just Want to Make Love to You growls with stripped-down menace. Producer David Z slipped synthetic drums and tape loops under some cuts, shoving Chicago blues toward trip-hop. Heavier and grittier than its era ever suggested. Buddy proving he could still scare you. Turn it up.
