Greatest current guitarist in the world

Duane and Gregg Allman formed the creative core of a revolutionary band that seamlessly blended traditional blues arrangements with jazz-influenced twin-guitar harmonies. Their distinct sound combined fluid slide guitar leads with soulful, gravelly organ grooves, creating an organic musical dialogue that felt completely alive. They rejected short radio singles to focus entirely on extended live jams.

Duane and Gregg Allman recorded their definitive musical statement in March 1971 during a series of legendary concerts at the Fillmore East in New York. Their incredible onstage telepathy during tracks like "Whipping Post" stretched basic blues patterns into epic, multi-layered masterpieces of instrumental improvisation. They spent those intense nights establishing a new standard for live rock recordings.

Duane and Gregg Allman left behind an invaluable musical blueprint that defined the entire Southern rock genre for decades to follow. Their brilliant ability to fuse diverse American roots styles into a cohesive, stadium-sized live experience proved that genuine musicianship could conquer commercial charts. Their collaborative work remains a timeless textbook for instrumental synergy.

Happy 89th birthday to the blues legend Buddy Guy!
“Yeah, I thought about retiring twice, but, y’know, I thought about all those great blues players who are no longer with us — B.B. King. Lightnin’ Hopkins, all those guys — and they used to tell me, ‘You need to keep playing and keep representing the blues,’ ’cause they don’t play it on radio or anything anymore.

“So I said to myself, ‘Well, Buddy, you better hang on a little longer. My health ain’t doing too bad, so I’m still doing what I’ve always done...every time I get on stage, just try to play the best I can.”

“He’s inspirational,” says Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, who counts Guy as a valued mentor.

“When you hear him play, you just know that’s the way it’s supposed to be done.”
Tom Hambridge, the Nashville-based producer who’s helmed Guy’s last seven albums — from 2008’s Skin Deep through Ain’t Done With the Blues — is not at all surprised that farewell did not really mean goodbye.

“This is what he knows,” Hambridge explains. “He seems very content living on a stage — ‘Put a guitar in my hand and lead me to the stage and I want to play with people.’ That’s what he’s been doing his whole life.

“And I think he really means it when he always says he wants to keep the blues alive and keep the word he gave to Muddy [Waters] and all of them. He thinks if he’s out there doing it, making new music, he’ll be keeping the blues alive.”
