Hold That Plane! is the third studio album by blues guitarist Buddy Guy that was recorded in November 1969 and released on Vanguard Records in 1972.[2]
History
Buddy Guy had no fortune with the record companies. Although he recorded for Chess since 1958 (mostly as a sideman), his first full-length album was released ten years later, after his departure from that label.[3] That was a compilation from his previous recordings. He had a contract with Vanguard, who released two albums in 1968.[4] That was a very good period for Buddy Guy, he had a new management, who organized a lot of live shows for Buddy, especially for festivals, so he was very popular in the white audiences also.[5] So he and his new band (including his little brother Phil Guy) recorded for the next album in November 1969, but it wasn’t released until 1972.[1]
