Buddy Guy is an American blues guitarist and singer, born on July 30th, 1936 in Lettsworth, Louisiana. He is recognized as one of the pioneers of the Chicago blues sound. In the '50s, he began performing with bands in Baton Rouge before making his way to Chicago in 1957.
Initially recording for Cobra Record Corp.'s subsidiary Artistic, Buddy Guy later joined Chess Records where he worked as both a sideman and leader. During this time, he also recorded under the pseudonym Friendly Chap for Delmark Records. His talent led him to Vanguard in 1967 and subsequently to collaborations with various labels.
With an impressive career spanning decades, Buddy Guy has received numerous accolades including six Grammy awards and 23 W.C. Handy Awards. In recognition of his contributions to music, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 2003 and was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2005. Additionally, he became a member of the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2008.

RCA is a multinational record label that has been used worldwide and is currently owned by Sony Music Entertainment. The name RCA originally referred to the Radio Corporation of America, a US electronic and communications company formed in 1919. In 1929, RCA acquired the Victor Talking Machine Co., which had released records on the Victor and Victrola labels. The record division became known as RCA Victor until late 1968 when it became RCA Records.

In 1985, RCA Records became part of RCA/Ariola International. At the end of that year, General Electric purchased the RCA Corporation. In 1986, GE sold the remainder of RCA Records to Bertelsmann (Ariola's owner) and formed the Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG). Since then, RCA Records has switched owners twice and is currently owned by Sony Music Entertainment.

On September 26, 2011, Sony Music Entertainment reorganized the RCA Records group into its own label banner. This merger brought artists from Jive, Arista, LaFace, and J Records under the umbrella of RCA. Additionally, reissues from these imprints will be handled by RCA as well.

Six-time Grammy Award winner and 2012 Kennedy Center Honoree Buddy Guy releases his new studio album Rhythm and Blues on RCA Records. The follow-up to his 2010 Grammy Award winning album 'Living Proof', this double-disc masterpiece features first time studio collaborations with A-list artists Kid Rock, Keith Urban, Gary Clark, Jr., Beth Hart and Aerosmith members Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford. Produced by Grammy Award winning producer / songwriter and longtime collaborator Tom Hambridge (Skin Deep, Living Proof), 'Rhythm and Blues' captures the 76 year-young Guy at the peak of his creativity. Replete with heartfelt vocals, straightforward lyrics and mesmerizing guitar licks, 'Rhythm and Blues' not only exemplifies how blues continues to be the foundation of all genres of today's music, it also illustrates why Guy has been influential in the careers of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan and more. The Rhythm disc includes rhythm and blues-style blues with deep grooves, such as the Junior Wells' 1960 hit 'Messin' With The Kid' featuring Kid Rock, the touching 'One Day Away' with Keith Urban, and 'What You're Gonna Do About Me,' a rousing duet with Beth Hart. Guy rounds out the disc with 'Best In Town,' 'Whiskey Ghost,' Guitar Slim's 'Well I Done Got Over It' and more.
