This week on BWAF, we celebrate one of the true giants of the blues as Buddy Guy turns 90 — and what better way to mark the occasion than with a deep dive into his Grammy‑winning 1994 masterpiece Slippin’ In. It was only two weeks ago that we featured his stunning Sweet Tea record, but when you’re talking about Buddy Guy, one show is never enough.

Slippin’ In captures Buddy at a moment of renewed fire and ferocity. Half the album was recorded in Chicago with his own band, steeped in the grit, groove and history of the city he helped define. The other half was cut in Austin with Double Trouble — Stevie Ray Vaughan’s legendary rhythm section — adding emotional weight, explosive energy and a powerful sense of musical lineage. With Eddie Kramer behind the desk and Johnnie Johnson on piano, Buddy delivers some of the most electrifying playing of his career.

Alongside the feature, we’ve got a stack of brand‑new releases lighting up the playlist this week, including Keb Mo, Janiva Magness, Jason Ricci, Ray Beadle, GA‑20 with Charlie Musselwhite, Danielle Nichole, Taj Mahal & the Phantom Blues Band, and plenty more.

Tune in, turn it up, and let the good times roll. This is BWAF.
