The blues world was dealt a heavy blow this week. On Wednesday, August 20, Chicago blues legends Phil Guy and Little Arthur Duncan both passed away. Phil was the lesser-known but equally talented brother of Buddy Guy. Born in Lettersworth, Louisiana in 1940, he backed Louisiana bluesman Raful Neal before moving north to the Windy City in 1969. There, the guitarist/vocalist played in his brother Buddy's band and often backed Junior Wells. Phil Guy's unique brand of deep funky blues was a major attraction on the Chicago scene.
