American Masters presents the broadcast premiere of Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase the Blues Away, a new documentary on living legend George “Buddy” Guy, a blues master who transcended his early years as a sharecropper in Lettsworth, Louisiana to become one of the most influential guitarists of all time. A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and eight-time GRAMMY winner, Guy is a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound and a living link to the city’s halcyon days of electric blues. American Masters — Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase the Blues Away premieres Tuesday, July 27 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings).

This just promises to be fascinating!  I'm definitely going to have the DVR programmed to record this one.  Thank you for the heads up, @DianeB!

This was just an exceptional show.  First, thanks to @DianeB for alerting us about it.  This was one of those that I will probably watch several more times.  If you are a fan of Buddy Guy do not miss the rebroadcast.  If you are a fan of the blues, do not miss the rebroadcast!  If you are a fan of guitar music, do not miss the rebroadcast.

Yes, it was a documentary about Buddy Guy.  But it was so much more.  Much time was spent about the British fascination with American Blues and then bringing it back to America.  Interviews with Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, John Mayer, and others.  A lot of history of Chicago blues and Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf and Lightnin' Hopkins.  

There is just no way I can recommend this more highly.

It will broadcast again several times this week and next.  All these times are Central time on my local PBS station.  You may have to convert/search.

The following are on the #2 subchannel on my Over the Air (OTA) station.  So if you don't have an OTA antenna you may not be able to get it.  Your cable/satellite carrier probably doesn't provide this.
