Hold That Plane!
''Hold That Plane!'' is the third studio album by blues guitarist Buddy Guy. It was recorded in November 1969, but not released by Vanguard Records until 1972. History Buddy Guy had no luck with the record companies. Although he had recorded for Chess since 1958 (mostly as a sideman), his first full-length album wasn't released until ten years later (consisting of material recorded between 1965 and 1967). After leaving Chess, Buddy signed with Vanguard Records who released his second LP in 1968. Though this was a good period for Buddy (he was under new management who organized a lot of live work- especially for big music festivals), and he was popular with black and white audiences as a result, his recording career was still full of unfulfilled promise. A new band (including his brother Phil Guy on rhythm guitar) recorded these tracks in November 1969, but they inexplicably weren't released until almost three years later in 1972. Including two Guy originals (one written with hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Vanguard Records Albums
The vanguard (also called the advance guard) is the leading part of an advancing military formation. It has a number of functions, including seeking out the enemy and securing ground in advance of the main force. History The vanguard derives from the traditional division of a medieval army into three ''battles'' or ''wards''; the Van, the Main (or Middle), and the Rear. The term originated from the medieval French ''avant-garde'', i.e. "the advance guard". The vanguard would lead the line of march and would deploy first on the field of battle, either in front of the other wards or to the right if they deployed in line. The makeup of the vanguard of a 15th century Burgundian army is a typical example. This consisted of *A contingent of foreriders, from whom a forward detachment of scouts was drawn; *The main body of the vanguard, accompanied by civil officials and trumpeters to carry messages and summon enemy towns and castles to surrender; and *A body of workmen under the ...
