Buddy Guy

He's the man who inspired Eric Clapton to form 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 is hitting Japan to perform at Fuji Rock, following a last-minute cancellation at the fest last year, but he's doing an additional date in Tokyo for the benefit of those who can't make it... or, for that matter, who want to see him more than once.
