Amazon.com essential recording
The best of Buddy Guy's solo albums since his 1991 reemergence finds him mixing songs from his concert repertoire ("Someone Else Is Steppin' In") with blues chestnuts ("I Smell Trouble") and his own new originals, like the gritty plea for urban spiritual renewal "Cities Need Help." His performance is raw and natural, a nasty throwback to his late-'60s roadhouse days. Guy takes unbridled pleasure in hard playing and vocal shouting that straddles the soul-blues border. The absence of shallow attempts at pop-radio play and the lack of guest appearances by rock stars or emerging bluesmen like Jonny Lang, which plague most of Guy's recent CDs, is refreshing. This is simply Buddy, on his own strong terms. --Ted Drozdowski

Blues Master Buddy October 14, 2007
mpbcp (thornwood, ny United States)
I admit to being a big fan of Buddy Guy, and while this album does not really have any of his "greatest hits", it still might be my favorite album of his, simply because of the variety of the songs and the overall high quality of the performances.
I Smell Trouble is a great opening cut,and Shame Shame Shame has a unique rockabilly tempo to it. Little Dab A Doo, Don't tell Me About The Blues and Slippin Out Slippin In are 3 classics blues tunes, and the last song on the album, Cities Need Help, written by Buddy, adds a surprising dash of social commentary in a low key way.
Guy Delivers The Real Blues On "Slippin' In" May 26, 2007
Terence Allen (Atlanta, GA USA)
How bad was Buddy Guy missed before he came back on the scene with "Damn Right I Got The Blues?" "Too badly to even say" is the answer. His playing on "Slippin' In" ranks as some of the best he's ever recorded.
Guy demonstrates the finesse, skill, flexibility, and raw power possessed by only a very few guitar players. His solos on "Please Don't Drive Me Away" prove that what those who saw him play live even back in the 60's say is true. That Guy plays like a cross between straight blues, jazz guitarist, and heavy metal. His playing on "Please Don't Drive Me Away," "7-11," "Don't Tell Me About The Blues," and "Cities Need Help" is unbelievable at times. The same thoughts cross your mind listening to him as they do when you listen to Hendrix. "How did he do that?" "How can you make that kind of sound with a guitar?"
"Slippin' In" just proves that we've got to grab a hold of Buddy Guy and not let loose of him. He's not allowed any more sabbaticals. We miss out on way too much when he's away.
This is what a blues album should sound like ! January 26, 2007
C. Valls (Jacksonville, Florida)
WOW! I just finished listening to this, and I am blown away.
I try to listen to as many different styles of music as I can. This album is a fine example of blues.
This is what any great blues album should sound like.
Just take this album for a spin.
You can't really talk about one song on this record, without mentioning the other ones.
It starts with a great opener, and follows through to the end.
Just do yourself a favor and listen to Buddy Guy.
Great Modern Blues January 3, 2007
Sean Wicklund (Kansas City)
I admit I love Buddy Guy. I have seen him live twice and Slippin' In does a great job of catching his show. Raw, hard Chicago blues with some R&B and Rock. A must buy for blues fans or anyone wanting to get some BG.
Buddy Guy is eternal October 27, 2006

Okay, I'm a Buddy Guy fan, and rarely am I disappointed when I'm listening to him. This album is exciting, and if you think you like the blues at all, you need to listen to this.
