Music reviews of The Best of Roy Buchanan: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection
Music Review: It has all of Roys best songs
Rating: 5 Stars
A lot of people may not know of Roy but true guitar aficionados will know of his work.He was asked to replace Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones when he died and preferred to play his own bluesy type of music.His 1954 fender telecaster combined with the fender twin reverb and the way he uses the volume control knob on his guitar to create the harmonics that almost sound like a violin and he uses every fret on the guitar going all the way down to the bridge and the speed of his riffs are amazing.A must buy for all guitar players to listen to and check him out on youtube and you will see what I mean about the control he has over his guitar !!!! Also check him out on wikipedia to find out more of his life before he died its fascinating.
Description of The Best of Roy Buchanan: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection
This album compiles highlights from unjustly obscure guitarist Roy Buchanan's first solo albums for Polydor (1972-75), efforts that defined his country-blues-gospel roots and showcased the fiery, emotionally charged technique that awed even fellow guitar gods like Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. In a 1971 interview, Buchanan confided, "This star business scares the hell out of me." That remark says much about both the guitar phenom's humble mindset and promising yet oft-troubled career. Buchanan apprenticed with '50s rockabilly star Dale Hawkins (and later, Hawkins's cousin Ronnie in the Hawks, soon to become the Band), but was in his 30s before he got the attention he so richly deserved. Buchanan's solos here often seem to bypass his conscious mind and connect directly with his complex, conflicted soul (he committed suicide in 1988). Contrasted with his plaintive, near-spoken vocals on spiritually disparate tracks like "The Messiah Will Come Again," "Hey Joe," and a live take on "I'm Evil," the solos can be gut-wrenchingly powerful. Buchanan's public acceptance was limited, but his playing continues to influence new generations; here are a dozen good reasons why. --Jerry McCulleyGeneral CDs
