Blues legend Buddy Guy has something to say. Specifically, that The Blues is Alive and Well. That’s the title of his new studio album, which will be released on June 15 via Silvertone/RCA Records. Guy teamed up with some heavy hitters for this new record, as both Mick Jagger (on “You Did the Crime”) and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, guitar icon/Guy’s musical friend Jeff Beck (both Richards and Beck are featured on “Cognac”) and singer/songwriter James Bay (“Blue No More”) make appearances on the record. This album will be the first from Guy, 81, since 2015’s Born to Play Guitar. Here’s the track listing for The Blues is Alive and Well:
