Six-time Grammy Award winner and 2012 Kennedy Center Honoree Buddy Guy recently released his new studio album Rhythm & Blues (July, 2013). The follow-up to his 2010 Grammy Award-winning album Living Proof, this double-disc masterpiece features first-time studio collaborations with Kid Rock, Keith Urban, Gary Clark, Jr., Beth Hart, and Aerosmith members Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Brad Whitford.

Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer/songwriter and longtime collaborator Tom Hambridge (Skin Deep,Living Proof), Rhythm & Blues captures the 76-year-young Guy at the peak of his creativity. Replete with heartfelt vocals, straightforward lyrics, and mesmerizing guitar licks, Rhythm & Blues not only exemplifies how blues continues to be the foundation of all genres of today's music, but it also illustrates why Guy has been influential in the careers of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and more.
