This set combines two Buddy Guy albums released a decade apart, 1991's Damn Right, I've Got the Blues and 2001's Sweet Tea, and they make an odd and somehow illuminating pairing. Damn Right was a star-studded affair with guest spots from Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Mark Knopfler and sports smooth and polished production, while Sweet Tea, recorded at the Sweet Tea studio in Mississippi, goes the other direction with sparse production and a rawer sound. It's Buddy Guy either way, whichever side of the blues coin one prefers. ~ Steve Leggett
