'Living Proof is a historic first as it brings together the incomparable B.B. King and Buddy Guy on the introspective and moving lead single, "Stay Around a Little Longer." The landmark single represents the first time that these two blues titans have ever joined together on a studio release. 'Bout time, right? In addition to the collaboration with B.B. King, Guy recruited fellow guitar legend Carlos Santana, who joins him on the slinky tune "Where the Blues Begins." At seventy-four years young, Guy has been a major influence on rock titans and guitar gods like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago's fabled West Side sound and a living link to that city's halcyon days of electric blues. In a career than spans nearly fifty years he has received twenty-three W.C. Handy Blues Awards (the most any artist has received), the first annual Great Performer of Illinois Award, the Billboard magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts. Rolling Stone ranked him in the top thirty of its "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time." Buddy Guy isn't "living proof"; he's a living legend.' - Amy Sciarretto / Artist Direct
