Chicago blues great Buddy Guy never was the same after he heard John Lee Hookers seminal Boogie Chillun while growing up in his rural stomping grounds of Lettswork, Louisiana. In 1957 he set out for the Windy City and its vibrant blues scene, where he played his way into the clubs, cut records, befriended and gigged with other greats (Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Otis Rush), forged his skillful, intense, wild persona, hit the road, influenced new generations of musicians (Mick, Keith, Eric, Stevie Ray Vaughan), performed at the Obama White House and collected nine Grammys along the way. Supported by a sumptuous assemblage of performance footage, testimonials from those hes inspired (including Clapton, Carlos Santana, Gary Clark Jr., and John Mayer) and some classic blues licks, Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase the Blues Away finds Guy (now a young 84) looking back at his life, providing valuable insight into his music while leaving room for some memorable anecdotes.

In 1966, CBC Television invited some of North America’s greatest blues performers to gather in a studio in Toronto, recording together and individually in sessions that lasted three days. The result was originally televised as part of the CBC “Festival” series, and now the session video tapes have been found, restored and re-edited. The great Muddy Waters and his band perform “You Can’t Lose What You Never Had” and “Got My Mojo Workin’,” the latter with James Cotton on harmonica. Willie Dixon goes solo on “Bassology” and (helped by a little ’90s technology) performs “Crazy for My Baby” with host Colin James. Plus rare appearances by Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Mable Hillery singing “How Long This Train Been Gone,” and delta blues piano player Sunnyland Slim, introducing a whole new generation to this inspiring, soulful music.
