No, Phil Guy's never going to eclipse his older brother Buddy's status as a 
blues superstar. And in reality, Phil's 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 sibling's 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 brother's 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; they've generally been lacking in originality if not spirit.
