Grammy-winning comeback set that brought Buddy Guy back to prominence after a long studio hiatus. Too many clichéd cover choices -- "Five Long Years," "Mustang Sally," "Black Night," "There Is Something on Your Mind" -- to earn unreserved recommendation, but Guy's frenetic guitar histrionics ably cut through the superstar-heavy proceedings (Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Mark Knopfler all turn up) on the snarling title cut and a handful of others. [Damn Right, I've Got the Blues was reissued as an expanded edition in 2003, containing two bonus tracks: "Doin' What I Like Best" and "Trouble Don't Last."] ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide
