About this Article

Ask Chicago guitar legend Buddy Guy about the future of the blues and he'll give a depressing — but direct — answer. "It's scary," Guy said during an interview upstairs at his club, Buddy Guy's Legends, in Chicago's South Loop. "I'm still going to play my music because I love what I'm doing, but we need all the support we can to keep the blues alive."
