Buddy Guy是美国歌手。代表作品有《Hoodoo Man Blues》、《It’s my Life, Baby!》等。
对blues稍有了解的人都知道buddy guy 这个名字的份量,他是芝加哥blues的代表人物,曾经影响了Jimi Hendrix,Eric Clapton,Stevie Ray Vaughan 等人,甚至影响到摇滚乐发展的先驱;即使你对blues一窍不通,当Buddy弹响第一个音符时,你一样会为他疯狂。对许多人来说,Guy是在B.B.King后的下一位"布鲁斯之王"。他的吉他风格在King的诗一般的揉弦、推弦基础上,又增加了后现代布鲁斯的狂热。Hendrix和Jeff Beck都承认他们在音乐上深深地受到了Guy的影响,Clapton也称Guy是"最伟大的布鲁斯演奏者"。事实上,在当今的乐手中,很少有人能演奏出象Guy所演奏的饱含情感的吉他solo。

By 2004, Guy had also earned 23 W.C. Handy Awards, ‘Billboard’ magazine's Century Award (he was its second recipient) for distinguished artistic achievement, and the title of Greatest Living Electric Blues Guitarist.
Guy was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 14, 2005, by Eric Clapton and B.B. King. Clapton recalled seeing Guy perform in London’s Marquee Club in 1965, impressing him with his technique, his looks and his charismatic showmanship.
