It’s erroneous to characterize this 2008 Buddy Guy release, his first in three years, as a comeback, since he’s never been gone. But between a spotlight stealing performance in Martin Scorsese’s Rolling Stones concert flick Shine a Light in the same year and the appearance of Skin Deep, Guy has returned to the crossover arena as the magnetic and dynamic blues journeyman he has always been. Drop the laser anywhere on these dozen tunes, all but five authored or co-penned by the Chicago guitarist, and it’s like a blast of hot wind in the face. Even with drummer Tom Hambrige’s somewhat slick production, Guy is in your face, spitting out words with strutting swagger and peeling off molten licks that leave smoldering scars. Guests such as Derek Trucks and Eric Clapton seem like an afterthought, yet the former’s sensitive slide work on the titular ballad brings a crying gospel quality to the song. Trucks’ wife, Susan Tedeschi, makes a vibrant vocal foil on the mid-tempo "Too Many Tears," an obvious single. Roots guitar fans will thrill at the six-string intensity of the ferocious slow blues "Out in the Woods" where Guy unleashes torrents of raw sound that make this disc so consistently riveting and a highlight in the legend’s extensive catalog. --Hal Horowitz

Skin Deep - it hits a homerun!!!!! December 16, 2008
Willie S. Tyndall Jr. (North Carolina)
I love Buddy's work - and this album reflects the maturity I love in the great blues players. This album has all the right stuff - edgy rocky blues to classically styled tunes. The guest is list includes Eric Clapton and Robert Randolph - like having three generations of blues on one album. Buy it, buy it, buy it!!!!!!
 Buddy is Tight and His Playing Is His Best NOW December 9, 2008
Michael Sherrer (Sherman Oaks, CA United States)
I am on the fly-just have to rave how much better Buddy sounds with his singing and guitar playing. Buy it.
Clapton has been a teacher to the teacher-as BG has great time in his solos-
I like how BG lists all the solo guitars on each track.
Get it.

Awesome Skin Deep November 27, 2008

Just like fine wine, Buddy Guy keeps getting better and better. The new Skin Deep, which all the songs were written by Buddy is awesome. If you're a blues fan, this CD is for you.
