Music reviews of When a Guitar Plays the BluesMusic Review: Good Effort
I too, applaud Alligator records for bringing Roy back to recording in the 1980s. Roy's pyrotechnics are definitely well represented on this disc, but having seen Roy play live and having owned most of his catalog for many years, I have to say this is not one of his best overall. Roy played loud most of the time, sometimes a bit too loud for my tastes, and the production on this album is over the top. Moreover, Roy may have gotten a little carried away showing off his incredible bag of guitar tricks, thus there is little warmth or intamacy here. Younger listeners might find this album more accessible, initially, because the production has a more modern sound, but after a few listens and your ears are blown off, you will want to delve into Roy's work from the 70s, virtually all of which is highly recommended. His first album, "Roy Buchanan" is without a doubt my favorite for many reasons,. Although much of it has a country flavor that may not appeal to hard-core blues or rock fans, it also contains some very intense blues soloing - it would not be a Roy album without it. Roy II does not seem to be available now commercially, but I recommend looking for a used copy. You're Not Alone is also great - more of a rock album with outstanding covers of Neil Young and Joe Walsh.
