Buddy Guy, the legendary blues guitarist, has taken on a role in Ryan Coogler's successful film 'Sinners', marking a significant step in his career. At 89, he felt nervous during filming, despite his vast experience. The film, which received both critical acclaim and box office success, tells a unique story involving vampirism and blues music, while Guy plays the older version of a character called Sammie Moore. He expresses hope that the film helps introduce younger audiences to the blues genre and emphasizes its historical importance in music.
I'm afraid to see it because I don't want to say if I'm bad or good, but I hope Sinners bridges the gap between younger audiences and the blues.
A little clip of the movie made me think, Wow, this may help the blues stay alive. Some kid who never heard of the blues might wake up and say, I better check that out.
Blues has been treated like a stepchild ever since the big FM stations came out... I made a promise to Waters and B.B. King that I would try to keep the blues alive.
In the film, I portray the older version of Sammie Moore, but I had nerves everywhere on set - I hope they bring me a shot!
