Product Details

Roy Buchanan spent years as a guitarist's guitarist, the kind of player other six-string obsessives whispered about in reverent tones long before mainstream recognition caught up. His pinch harmonics and singing Telecaster tone influenced a generation of blues-rock players, and his move to Alligator gave him the platform and production to finally document what those who'd seen him live already knew.

BUCHANAN, ROY / WHEN A GUITAR PLAYS THE BLUES - Originally released in 1985, this is the Grammy-nominated Alligator debut from the late genius of pyrotechnic blues-rock guitar. Roy had a spellbinding arsenal of chops and tone, and he called When A Guitar Plays The Blues "the best album I ever made." Includes "Short Fuse, " "Mrs. Pressure" and "Hawaiian Punch."
