Phil Guy didn't eclipse his older brother Buddy's status as a blues superstar, and in reality, Phil's funky brand of blues was not captured correctly for posterity. But he remained an active attraction on the Chicago circuit, following in his sibling's footsteps and patiently waiting for his own star to rise up until his death.

Like his sibling, Phil Guy played with harpist Raful Neal (for a decade) before leaving the Baton Rouge scene for Chicago in 1969. There he played with his brother's high-energy organization as well as behind harpist Junior Wells (Phil handled guitar duties with Sammy Lawhorn on Wells' underrated mid-'70s Delmark album On Tap). Phil Guy cut albums of his own for JSP; they were generally lacking in originality if not spirit. Phil Guy lost his battle with liver and kidney cancer in August of 2008. /Biography by Bill Dahl, AllMusic

Recorded live on August 16, 17 & 18 at the Blues Special Club, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The CD, recorded in France in 1992, is only now being released following a long story: after the bankruptcy, in 1993 (just when the record was about to be released), of the French label that had produced the original recordings, the tapes they were freed from any previous constraint only in 1998. At that moment another work, Dario Lombardo's CD "I don't want 2 lose", was now being published, and so "Working together" had to wait a little longer. a year before it can finally be published.
The collaboration between Phil Guy and Dario Lombardo represents an absolutely unique part in the story of the Italian blues. In fact, there is no more lasting and extended cooperation between an American Bluesman and an Italian musician. Started on the cobblestones of Muddy Waters Drive, a small square on the South Side of Chicago where the two musicians met in 1987 playing together for the first time during the annual 43rd Street Blues Festival, this story has continued over the years with continuous tours. in Italy, Europe and the United States, thanks to the reciprocal hospitality of Phil Guy and Dario Lombardo. "Working together", as it can be heard now, is certainly very different from the initial project: the time elapsed between recordings andfinal edition has left its mark on three of the six original tapes, irreparably damaged and consequently unusable. And so the idea of ??inserting some live recordings, as well as filling the void left by those tapes, offers us the opportunity to listen to the band in its most usual dimension, that of the stage, in this case that of the "Passage du Nord. -Ouest "of Paris. It is certainly difficult to choose some of the songs to report to the attention of the listener, but having to do it, one cannot fail to mention Fixin 'to die, the piece by Bukka White masterfully interpreted by Phil Guy, a very famous but very rarely song. performed, or Willie Dixon's Same Thing,in which Phil Guy's voice and Dario Lombardo's guitar intertwine in a hypnotic chase of rare intensity. And then, Phil Guy's Soul dimension, never stopped in the studio until now, which gives due credit to his voice in songs such as Turning Point or Slip Away (pay attention to Davide dal Pozzolo's tenor saxophone, a clear example of stylistic precision), and finally, a taste of Dario Lombardo's compositions, which then found ample space in "I don't want 2 lose", with Troubles, a contemporary Soul-Blues song of normal today's stories of urban desolation in which they are highlighted, as well as on Lombardo's voice and guitar, Alberto Marsico's piano and Andy Romeo's alto sax.which gives due credit to his voice in songs such as Turning Point or Slip Away (pay attention to the tenor sax by Davide dal Pozzolo, a clear example of stylistic precision), and finally a taste of the compositions by Dario Lombardo, which then found ample space in "I don't want 2 lose", with Troubles, a contemporary Soul-Blues song of normal today stories of urban desolation in which, in addition to Lombardo's voice and guitar, Alberto Marsico's piano and sax are highlighted tall by Andy Romeo.which gives due credit to his voice in songs such as Turning Point or Slip Away (pay attention to the tenor sax by Davide dal Pozzolo, a clear example of stylistic precision), and finally a taste of the compositions by Dario Lombardo, which then found ample space in "I don't want 2 lose", with Troubles, a contemporary Soul-Blues song of normal today stories of urban desolation in which, in addition to Lombardo's voice and guitar, Alberto Marsico's piano and sax are highlighted tall by Andy Romeo.a contemporary Soul-Blues song of normal today stories of urban desolation in which, in addition to Lombardo's voice and guitar, Alberto Marsico's piano and Andy Romeo's alto saxophone are highlighted.a contemporary Soul-Blues song of normal today stories of urban desolation in which, in addition to Lombardo's voice and guitar, Alberto Marsico's piano and Andy Romeo's alto saxophone are highlighted.
"Working together" therefore comes out seven years after its birth, a rare but not impossible fact in a niche music like the Blues, almost completely outside the big market choices if not for very few performers. Phil Guy and Dario Lombardo will be touring Europe in the coming months to present this work.

The Blues Gang Dario Lombardo was born in 1989 after the final dissolution of the main formation of the Model-T Boogie Giancarlo Crea, group of which Lombardo was part.
After a period in which several instrumentalists succeed each other in the group, the formation settles around a nucleus of Genoese musicians formed by the bassist Marco Messeri, by the drummer Maurizio Borgia and by the saxophonist Andrea "Andy" Romeo. Dario Lombardo will bring two other permanent members of the group from Turin, keyboardist Alberto Marsico and saxophonist Davide Dal Pozzolo. The Milanese guitarist Marco Vintani, unfortunately not present in the French tour during which the recordings of "Working together" were made, will complete the line-up of the period 1990-1993. Those three years were full of concerts and tours in France, Switzerland and Germany, as well as of course in Italy, where the group participated in the most famous Blues Festivals. 1993 led to a new lineup change, mainly due to the need to tour a smaller band. Everyone found their own way, some, like Messeri, Borgia or Dal Pozzolo, working as shift workers for the groups of the Feeling Good agency in Milan, others, like Marsico, looking for new spaces as a soloist and author. The Blues Gang changed formation once again, and after the ritual experiments the The group has now settled down since 1995, bringing together two of his old Model-T companions, bassist Massimo Pavin and drummer Massimo Bertagna, around Dario Lombardo, with the addition of rhythm guitarist Andrea Preto and harmonica player Andrea Scagliarini. This is the current Blues Gang, the one you can listen to both on record ("I don't want 2 lose", Jazzmobile Records), and in concert. Alongside the collaboration with Phil Guy, which continues regularly, Dario Lombardo also combines other international experiences, the last of which saw the Turin guitarist and his band on tour with bassist and guitarist Dave Myers, a very prominent exponent of the Chicago Blues.

Baritone Saxophone – Robert Feiner (tracks: 2,3 ); Bass – Mike Nunno; Drums – Jason Arnold; Guitar – Burt Teague (tracks: 3,4,10); Harp – Junior Badowski (tracks: 2); Keyboards – Bruce Bears, Bruce Feiner (tracks: 1,3,4,7,8,10); Tenor Saxophone – Bruce Feiner (tracks: 6); Trumpet – Jamie Finegan (tracks: 10); Vocals, Guitar – Johnny Rawls; Vocals, Lead Guitar – Eddie Kirkland (tracks: 2,8), Phil Guy (tracks: 2).

Beautifully atmospheric and cool, this album encapsulates Johnny Rawls' huge experience of playing guitar for Little Johnny Taylor, ZZ Hill, O.V. Wright, and many others. Rawls is a first-rate singer, songwriter (he co-wrote all the songs on this album) and guitarist. Look for a weak track; you won't find one. There are guest appearances by Phil Guy (Buddy's brother), Eddie Kirkland, and Johnny's daughter Destini who has a classy voice. The musicianship throughout is superb. Apart from Johnny himself there's Jamie Finegan's fantastic trumpet and Jason Arnold's consistent drums. Soulful blues at its best.

When the legendary Chicago bluesman Phil Guy (brother of Buddy Guy) came to Finland to tour with Wentus Blues Band, one of the shows in Helsinki was recorded.

You might wonder how a blueslegend like Phil Guy from Chicago and a bunch of Finns calling themselves the Wentus Blues Band got together, and when you ask them they really don't know how either. One thing is definitely for sure, that the first shows they did together really gave them the hunger for some more, and at this point they play together every time Phil comes over to Europe.

Recorded November 2nd, 2002 at Cantina West, Helsinki, Finland

Personnel:
Phil Guy - guitar, vocals
Niko Riipa - guitar
Robban Hagnäs - bass
Mikael Axelqvist - drums
Special guest: Pepe Ahlquist - harmonica, vocals

This 18-track budget-priced compilation features an uptempo collection of tracks from the vaults of the British JSP firm, who long have recorded visiting American blues artists with varying results. The highlights this time are numerous and the quality stays high -- as all compilations should be -- but several are worthy of special mention. Phillip Walker with Otis Grand do a nice opening turn with "Don't Leave Me Baby," and Carey Bell checks in with a live rendition of Little Walter's "Leaving in the Morning (I Got to Go)" as well as a nice duet with son Lurrie on "The Gladys Shuffle," and Buddy Guy is rockin' with "Girl You're Nice and Clean." Little Willie Littlefield checks in with some two-fisted piano boogie on "(Sit Right Down And) Cry over You," U.P. Wilson contributes a nice instrumental in "Half Step" and a scorching shuffle with "Need the Need," Johnny "Big Moose" Walker takes it back home with "Rambling Woman," Guitar Shorty contributes two tracks with Otis Grand, and Hubert Sumlin's vocal on "Look Don't Touch" is both mellow and affecting. This compilation also includes tracks by Charlie Sayles, Phil Guy, Johnny Mars, Larry Garner, Byther Smith, Tre', and Tutu Jones. With a 77-minute running time and excellent liner notes from Bill Dahl, this is one blues compilation that's a solid value for the money. ~Review by Cub Koda

He subsequently worked for Junior Wells. In the '80s he formed his own band and recorded albums for JSP, Isabel and Red Lightnin'. Phil is a high energy blues guitarist of considerable talent, famed for his 'Take No Prisoner' live shows.

This album features the best of his 1982 to 1986 JSP studio sessions. Tough stuff and undoubtably the cream, so far, of Phil Guy acclaimed recording career.
