24-BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED ORIGINAL RECORDINGS RARE PHOTOS VINTAGE MEMORABILIA DETAILED LINER NOTES INCLUDES 16-PAGE BOOKLET.
This quintessential collectors edition contains 25 remastered studio tracks consisting of a variety of the sensational early recordings Buddy Guy made for Chess Artistic and USA Records between 1958 and 1963. Highlights include the title track the potent First Time I Met the Blues which dates from Guys first Chess session in February 1960 and has the songs composer Little Brother Montgomery on piano. Sit and Cry is another exceptional number. It features both Guy and Otis Rush on electric guitar and the great Willie Dixon (who penned the song with the collaboration of Guy) on bass. Other electric blues gems found here include Try to Quit You and You Sure Cant Do (Guys tribute to his idol and inspiration Guitar Slim) as well as the ballad I Got a Strange Feeling and a soulful version of that tune re-recorded with a horn-section under the title When My Left Eye Jumps. Also noteworthy is Junior Wells appearance on chromatic harmonica on Let Me Love You Baby and Ten Years Ago. Some of the material here isnt available on other collections nor have these seminal numbers ever been previously compiled on one CD. This is an indispensable set which defines the exact nature of the Chicago electric blues style.
