A Night of Blues With Buddy Guy and Jimmie Vaughan
. "I am excited to be on the same bill with Jimmie and Shemekia," Guy said. "I've done shows with them before and am looking forward to it as much now as I did the first time." Though Guy will forever be associated with Chicago, his story actually begins in Louisiana. One of five children, he was born in 1936 to a sharecropper's family and raised on a plantation near the small town of Lettsworth, located some 140 miles northwest of New Orleans. Guy was just seven years old when he fashioned his first makeshift "guitar"�a two-string contraption attached to a piece of wood and secured with his mother's hairpins. Perhaps the most significant landmark on "Living Proof" is that, for the first time, the incomparable B.B. King stopped by to play and sing a song, "Stay Around a Little Longer," on a Buddy Guy album. Jimmie Vaughan is far more than just one of the greatest and most respected guitarists in the world of popular music; as Guitar Player magazine notes, "He is a virtual deity�a living legend." After all, Vaughan provides a vital link between contemporary music and its proud heritage, as well as being a longtime avatar of retro cool. With Vaughan's fifth and most recent solo release, "Plays Blues, Ballads & Favorites," was released in July. Exactly what the title implies, the record is made up of Vaughan's hand-picked favorites, including covers of songs by artists such as Little Richard, Jimmy Reed, Willie Nelson, Roy Milton, and Roscoe Gordon.
