Do you ever have those days when you simply don't feel like getting out of bed? Your body aches, and you lack motivation. Buddy Guy doesn't have those days. He is nearly 90 years old and keeps making music.
Moreover, he keeps touring, and not just a show here or there. He plays a lot of concerts, and he performs as well as he did when he was 40 years old. He is a gem and a miracle, and we are all lucky enough to keep listening to him sing and play the blues.
His studio albums remain excellent as well. He just won his ninth Grammy Award earlier in February. The award was for his 2025 album, Ain't Done with the Blues, and was for Best Traditional Blues Album.
