by Bill DahlNo, Phil Guys never going to eclipse his older brother Buddys status as a blues superstar. And in reality, Phils funky brand of blues has yet to be captured correctly for posterity. But he remains an active attraction on the Chicago circuit, following in his siblings footsteps and patiently waiting for his own star to rise. Like his sibling, Phil Guy played with harpist Raful Neal (for a decade) before leaving the Baton Rouge scene for Chicago in 1969. There he played with his brothers high-energy organization as well as behind harpist Junior Wells (Phil handles guitar duties with Sammy Lawhorn on Wells underrated mid-70s Delmark album, On Tap). Phil Guy has cut albums of his own for JSP; theyve generally been lacking in originality if not spirit.
