 This "Sweet Tea" is a record full of surprises, which suffers a little in sound output, which could have been even rougher and as spontaneous as a jam session given its intentions.

 "Blues Singer" is, in my opinion, a true act of love from the mythical and legendary Buddy Guy, and it's that album that Buddy plays imagining his illustrious colleagues and friends tapping their feet in rhythm with the notes that Buddy plays.
