	One of Buddy Guy's first solo sides, "Try To Quit You Baby" was released on Chicago's Cobra label in 1958. As with most of Buddy's subsequent recordings, the music combines Chicago-style electricity with Louisiana mud, while his vocals certainly wouldn't sound out of place on a soul or R&B record. Buddy would have only been about 22 at the time of the recording, but he plays and sings with the haunted intensity of a man much older. This is the textbook definition of "the blues," and then some.
