The Genius of the guitar His Early Records

Description

Roy Buchanan is an American blues and rock guitarist. A virtuoso of the electric guitar, this white bluesman was considered by his peers to be one of the very best blues musicians of the 70s.
In 1965, he founded his own band (The Snakestretchers), with which he began to develop his very personal blues, often made up of cascades of high-pitched chords, and where he made his Fender Telecaster "cry". Unknown to the general public, Buchanan nevertheless began to attract the attention of some big names in music. In 1969, he was reportedly contacted by the Rolling Stones to replace Brian Jones.
Throughout the 70s, Buchanan would go on to release eight albums, both praised by critics and crowned with commercial success. Notably, "That's What I'm Here For" (1974), in which he pays tribute to Jimi Hendrix in a surprising version of the classic Hey Joe, or the "Live in Japan" released in 1979, a true display of virtuosity.
This double CD is a tribute to this magnificent guitarist with CD1 the artists for whom he played such as: Dale Hawkins, Bob Luman, Freddy Cannon, and Danny and The Juniors and CD2 his own tracks such as this superb "The Jam (Part 1 and 2)", where he gives us a demonstration of his talent.
