Buddy Guy is doing well, which can be seen and especially heard on his new album "The Blues Don't Lie".

The Grammy award-winning producer has also given the 16 songs a brilliantly warm sound.

Today, 38 Blues Music Awards, eight Grammys, the Grammy for Lifetime Achievement and countless other awards later, there are no two opinions as to whether he has achieved that goal.
