Buddy Guy Brings 'Em

Buddy Guy's latest, Bring 'Em In, due September 20th, features the blues great's renditions of well-worn hits by artists from Bob Dylan to Otis Redding. "Up through the early Sixties, I'd walk in a bar and say, 'I'm playing what you're playing on the jukebox,'" Guy says. "This record is similar to that."

On the Chicago blues king's new disc, he puts his spin on classics from Dylan's "Lay, Lady, Lay" to Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" to Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" -- with a little help from guest stars Keith Richards, Carlos Santana and John Mayer. "He's a great blues guitarist," Guy says of Mayer, who plays on Redding's "I've Got Dreams to Remember."

The album may be heavy on pop songs, but Guy says he put his bluesy signature on every one of them: "Blues is like American Express. I don't leave home without it."
