Our Take
ROY BUCHANAN After Hours - Early Years (1957-1962 Recordings) is a delightful time capsule of the guitar virtuoso's early days before he became a household name.
The album kicks off with Buchanan's signature blend of blues and rock, showcasing his undeniable talent and unique playing style. Tracks like "After Hours" and "Lonely, Lonely Nights" are a testament to Buchanan's ability to convey raw emotion through his instrument.
As you dive deeper into the album, you'll come across hidden gems like "Mule Train Stomp" and "Duck Walk," where Buchanan's technical prowess truly shines. It's clear that even in his early years, Buchanan was a force to be reckoned with on the guitar.
While some tracks may feel a bit dated, overall, After Hours is a solid collection that offers a glimpse into the musical evolution of a legend. Fans of Buchanan's later work will appreciate the roots of his sound found in these early recordings.
So, if you're a fan of blues, rock, or just good old-fashioned guitar wizardry, do yourself a favor and give ROY BUCHANAN After Hours - Early Years a spin. It may not be his most groundbreaking work, but it's definitely a fun ride through the formative years of a true guitar hero.

About the artist
Roy Buchanan
Roy Buchanan, the unsung hero of blues and rock n' roll, was a guitar virtuoso like no other. With his signature Telecaster guitar and mind-blowing technique, Buchanan shook the music world to its core, mesmerising audiences with his raw talent and soulful playing. Hailing from rural Arkansas, Buchanan's humble beginnings shaped his unique sound, blending country twang with electrifying blues. His self-taught style and innovative approach to the guitar made him a true pioneer in the world of music. Despite being hailed as a guitar god by his peers, Buchanan remained relatively unknown to the masses. Perhaps it was his rebellious nature, or his disdain for the commercial music industry, that kept him from achieving mainstream success. But to those in the know, Buchanan was a legend in his own right. From his iconic album "Roy Buchanan" to his electrifying live performances, Buchanan's music continues to inspire generations of guitarists and musicians. His influence can be heard in the riffs of rock legends like Jeff Beck and Gary Moore, solidifying his legacy as a true innovator in the world of music. So next time you pick up a guitar, remember Roy Buchanan and the trailblazing spirit that made him a legend. His music may not be on every radio station, but his impact on the world of music is undeniable. Roy Buchanan, a maverick in a world of conformity, a true original in a sea of imitators. Raise a glass to the man who made the guitar sing like no other. Cheers, Roy.
