Skin Deep
Silvertone/Zomba
Yes! A new studio album of all-original material (something Guy says he’s always wanted to do but nobody would let him), and half the songs have special guests, including Eric Clapton, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi and Robert Randolph.
It’s hard to believe Guy is 72. He sure doesn’t look or sound it. Speaking of which, Quinn Sullivan, who guests on the appropriately named “Who’s Gonna Fill Those Shoes,” looks but sure doesn’t sound 9 years old; that kid can play some mean guitar.
Of the “just Buddy” tracks, “Lyin’ Like a Dog,” “Hammer and a Nail” and “Smell the Funk” are the best. Among the “guest” numbers, “Too Many Tears,” “That’s My Home” and the autobiographical title track are tops.
Deserving special recognition is Willie Mitchell’s appearance with the Memphis Horns. His trumpet playing and production work has slowed considerably since the turn of the century, and it’s good to hear from the old funk-blues-soul-meister again.
