	Roy Buchanan Pop New - LP PD 5033 Polydor Sealed 1972 Textured Cover Original. “The Recording And Production On This, Roy Buchanan's First Record For Polydor, Is Delightfully Bare, Sparse In Ornamentation, And Full Of Bum Notes And Aborted Ideas That Would Be Deleted On Most Commercial Releases. It Is A Loose, Highly Improvised Affair That Amply Demonstrates Why The Leader Is One Of The Underappreciated Giants Of Rootsy Guitar. Straddling Country, Blues, And Traditional Rock & Roll, Buchanan's Playing Is Fiery And Unpremeditated. His Tone Is Delightfully Raw And Piercing, His Solo Ideas Impetuous And Uncluttered. On The Instrumental Tracks, Such As His Famous Reading Of "Sweet Dreams" Or Buchanan's Own "The Messiah Will Come Again," One Can See Why He Was Such An Influence On Jeff Beck, Another Master Of The Instrument Known For His Genre-Blending And Ragged Spontaneity. The Main Focus On This Record Is Buchanan's Wailing Guitar, Punctuating The Vocals With Bluesy Cries And Country Moans. The Strongest Track On Roy Buchanan Is "The Messiah Will Come Again." This Song Opens With Buchanan's Mumbled Spoken Word Intro Over Quiet Organ And Then Yields To Spine-Tingling, Sorrow-Laden Telecaster That Cries And Screams In Existential Torment Before Giving Way In Turn To Percussive Flurries That Make Less Sense As Melodic Improvisation Than As Cries Of Passion. This Is Raw Guitar Playing And Music Making, Not For The Faint Of Heart. Fans Of Blues Or Country Guitar, Or Those Just Curious Why Jeff Beck Would Dedicate "'Cause We've Ended As Lovers" From Blow By Blow To Buchanan, Would Do Themselves A Favor By Picking Up This Album.” Daniel Gioffre, AMG.... more details

	Second Album Pop New - LP PD 5046 Polydor Factory Sealed 1973 Original. Tiny Front Jacket Nick Under Shrink. “Roy Buchanan's Second Album (1974) Was Recorded Less Than Six Months After Completing His Self-Titled Major-Label Debut, Roy Buchanan (1972), And Sported A Slightly Amended Version Of The Snakestretchers — Featuring Ned Davis (Drums), Dick Heintze (Keyboards), Teddy Irwin (Rhythm Guitar), Chuck Tilley (Vocals/Rhythm Guitar), And, Replacing Pete Van Allen, Don Payne (Bass). The Vibe Is Much In Keeping With The Previous Effort, Albeit Decidedly More Blues-Based. Likewise, The Arguably Misplaced Countrified Cuts Have Been Dispensed With, As The Musicians Concentrate More Specifically On Traditional Blues And Original Compositions. Once Again, The Choice Of Covers Is Not Only Impeccable, But Has Been Significantly Personalized By The Guitarist's Unique Sensibilities And Inimitable Timbre. "Five String Blues" Leads The Pack, Revealing The Meticulous Craftsmanship That Buchanan Places Upon Each Intonation, As His Precision Is Never Obscured Within The Flurry Of Unleashed Notes. While Less Technical Than Emotive, Buchanan's Gift For Interpretation Is Nothing Short Of Spellbinding, As The Reading Of Erskine Hawkins' "After Hours" Demonstrates. "Tribute To Elmore James" Is An R&B-Laden Rocker With Copious Nods To James' Slide Fretwork As Well As Buchanan's Own Well-Placed Emphasis. Yet Another Facet To This Aggregate Is The Funkier Midtempo "I Won't Tell You No Lies." Sadly, The Snakestretchers Tenure Concludes On This LP. By The Time Of Buchanan's Follow-Up, That's What I Am Here For (1974), Undue Influences Would Recast The Guitarist's Rhythmic Support To An Increasingly Lessened Ensemble Effect.” – Lindsay Planer, All Music Guide... more details
