Six-time Grammy Award winner and 2012 Kennedy Center Honoree BUDDY GUY will release his new studio album, Rhythm & Blues, on July 29th on RCA Records. The follow-up to his 2010 Grammy Award winning album Living Proof, this double-disc masterpiece features first time studio collaborations with A-list artists KID ROCK, KEITH URBAN, GARY CLARK, JR., and BETH HARTAND, as well as AEROSMITH members Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford. Rhythm & Blues will be available for pre-order at all online retailers on June 25th with “Meet Me In Chicago” as the IG.

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, it also illustrates why Guy has been influential in the careers of ERIC CLAPTON, JIMI HENDRIX, JEFF BECK, STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN and more.

The Rhythm disc includes rhythm and blues-style blues with deep grooves, such as the Junior Wells’ 1960 hit 'Messin With The Kid' featuring Kid Rock, the touching 'One Day Away' with Keith Urban, and 'What You’re Gonna Do About Me', a rousing duet with Beth Hart.

The Blues disc taps into the genre’s rich history with 'Meet Me In Chicago', 'I Could Die Happy', and more. Aerosmith’s Tyler, Perry and Whitford contribute to the musical lesson with 'Evil Twin' while Gary Clark, Jr. joins Guy on 'Blues Don’t Care'.
