Buddy Guy - I Was Walking Through The Woods LP

Experience the blistering, untamed origin of modern electric blues guitar. Originally compiled by Chess Records in 1970, I Was Walking Through The Woods brings together the legendary early-1960s Chicago studio sessions that turned Buddy Guy from a fierce young contender into an absolute titan of the genre. Now back on wax as part of the prestigious Chess Records 75th Anniversary Acoustic Sounds Series, this definitive edition has been painstakingly remastered AAA from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g heavyweight audiophile vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP).

Before he influenced Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy was redefining the Chicago blues landscape with a radical, high-voltage playing style marked by stinging string bends, sudden bursts of distortion, and feral, impassioned vocal deliveries. Backed by the cream of Chess Studios’ legendary house band—including Otis Spann on piano, Fred Below on drums, and his longtime partner Junior Wells on harmonica—every track on this album is a masterclass in raw musical electricity. From the frantic, weeping intensity of "First Time I Met The Blues" to the slow-burning, jaw-dropping guitar acrobatics of "Stone Crazy" and "Watch Yourself," the sonic energy captured here is staggering.
