This guy is still one of the great forgotten blooz rock guitarists. He once turned down a spot on the Stones just so he could continue picking bent notes in dusty middle-America roadhouses.
This stuff is incendiary. It sounds like bright colors coming out of the speakers. You can practically smell the tubes in the amp frying.
After seeing this, I was at my local used record store and they had a Roy Buchanan album- not "Greatest Hits," but something along those lines- for $6. I've only listened to it twice, but it might be the best $6 I've ever spent. So thanks for that.
