Eric Clapton & Buddy Guy - Ronnie Scotts 1987
Review by Tiffany Burnette
Ronnie Scotts 1987 is a collaborative album by two legendary guitarists, Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy. Recorded live at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London, the album captures the electrifying energy and virtuosity of these two masters of the blues.
From the opening track, "Sweet Little Angel," Clapton and Guy trade fiery licks and soulful vocals, backed by a tight rhythm section that includes keyboardist Greg Phillinganes, bassist Nathan East, and drummer Steve Ferrone. The setlist includes classic blues standards like "Worried Life Blues" and "Key to the Highway," as well as original compositions like Clapton's "Badge" and Guy's "First Time I Met the Blues."
Throughout the album, Clapton and Guy showcase their distinctive styles, with Clapton's smooth, melodic phrasing and Guy's raw, gritty tone. They also engage in playful banter and share anecdotes about their experiences in the blues scene.

Notes
- Live 1987-10-06 Longon
- London, England - October 6, 1987
- A stunning performance, highly recommended. Several sources refer to this disc as a soundboard but it's actually an excellent quality audience recording. Recorded in a small club, it does not have the "boominess" associated with many audience recordings. Buddy Guy's guitar is clearly audible, and at the same volume level in the mix as EC's - this is not the case with the soundboard material recorded and broadcast from the show, in which Guy's guitar is very low in the mix and almost inaudible. A careful listen during quiet passages reveals that all instruments have some room reverb, as opposed to the "close" sound associated with being close-miked. In particular, listen carefully on headphones during the (stunning) performance of "Wanna Make Love to You" and the room echo on all instruments is easy to identify during quiet passages. "Wanna Make Love" is one of the down-and-dirtiest, funky, greasy blues numbers you will ever hear - this is one that will grow hair on your chest. An excellent recording but available in even better quality on Single Malt Scotch.
