Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase The Blues Away
Cinematography
"Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase The Blues Away” captura a história de George “Buddy” Guy, que transcendeu sua juventude como agricultor em Lettsworth, Louisiana nos anos 40 para se tornar um dos guitarristas mais influentes de todo tempo. Após se mudar para o Centro-Oeste nos anos 50, Guy rapidamente destacou-se como o guitarrista preferido da Muddy Waters e Howlin Wolf como parte do icônico cenário de blues de Chicago, diretamente inspirando The Rolling Stones, Jimmy Page e Eric Clapton. Ainda, o sucesso comercial solo sempre escapava Buddy, até um avanço no fim de sua carreira nos anos 90. Um conto de perseverança de muitas décadas, a jornada de Buddy reflete ambos na experiência Negra nos Estados Unidos no século vinte e na história do blues. O documentário possui apresentações arquivadas e totalmente novas de Buddy Guy—com pessoas como o Presidente Obama e The Rolling Stones—e entrevistas com John Mayer, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Gary Clark Jr, Kingfish, entre outros.
