Our Take

Roy Buchanan's "That's What I Am Here For/Rescue Me" is a slice of bluesy nostalgia served up with a side of virtuosic guitar licks. Buchanan's unique style on the strings is enough to make even the most seasoned guitarists hang up their picks in defeat.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, Buchanan's soulful voice and searing guitar work transport you to a smoky bar in the deep south, where the bourbon flows and the music never stops. "That's What I Am Here For" is a showcase of Buchanan's raw talent, with tracks like "Short Fuse" and "Cajun" leaving you craving more.

But it's on "Rescue Me" where Buchanan truly shines. The album's title track is a masterclass in blues guitar, with Buchanan's fingers dancing effortlessly across the fretboard. Tracks like "My Friend Jeffrey" and "Pete's Blue" showcase Buchanan's versatility, effortlessly blending soulful melodies with blistering guitar solos.

Overall, "That's What I Am Here For/Rescue Me" is a must-listen for any fan of blues music. Buchanan's intricate guitar work and heartfelt vocals make this album a timeless classic, sure to stand the test of time. So dim the lights, pour yourself a drink, and let Roy Buchanan whisk you away to a world where the blues reign supreme. Trust us, you won't regret it.

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.
