Buddy Guy

He's the man who inspired Eric Clapton to Cream, the musical link between Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix. Yet for a few decades of his career, Buddy Guy was criminally neglected – until the blues revival of the late-'80s saw him crowned once more as one of the world's all-time great blues guitarists. Guy will be appearing at this year's Fuji Rock, but he's doing an additional date in Tokyo for the benefit of those who can't make it (or want to see him more than once).
