Buddy Guy's New Album

Blues guitarist Buddy Guy collaborates with musicians like Rolling Stones member Keith Richards, Carlos Santana, John Mayer and Keb' Mo' on his new album "Bring 'Em In". To be released September 20th, the album finds the 2005 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee putting his own slant on songs popularised by Curtis Mayfield, Johnny Taylor, Isaac Hayes and Otis Redding.

Mayer guests on a cover of Redding's "I've Got Dreams To Remember", while Santana drops by for a version of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You". Richards straps on his six-string for "Price You Gotta Pay" and the album also features a new Guy original, "What Kinda Woman Is This". Among other musicians contributing to the album are drummer Steve Jordan, bassist Willie Weeks, keyboardist Bernie Worrell and guitarist Dannie Kortchmar.

Buddy Guy will hit the road in North America in the fall, with appearances already confirmed at Farm Aid, September 18th in Tinley Park, Illinois, and Texas' Austin City Limits Festival, September 24th.
