Review:
Although Buddy Guy's first singles were for Chicago's Cobra Records, the bulk of his work in the early to mid-'60s was for the Windy City's most important blues label, Chess. Much of his work for the Chess brothers was as a sideman, but this collection of Guy's own singles and alternate or unreleased takes showcases the stinging guitar tone and preaching vocal style that were to become his trademarks. Among these recordings are the earliest versions of his signature tunes "I Got My Eyes On You," "Stone Crazy," "Watch Yourself," "When My Left Eye Jumps," and the nervy cry for revenge "My Time After Awhile." --Ted Drozdowski

Recorded in Chicago, Illinois between March 2, 1960 and July 1967.
