Our Take

Roy Buchanan's "When a Guitar Plays the Blues" is a soulful journey through the heart and soul of the blues, delivered with the flair and finesse that only a true guitar virtuoso like Buchanan could provide. From the moment the first note of the opening track hits your ears, you are transported to a smoky, dimly lit blues club, with Buchanan's searing guitar licks cutting through the air like a hot knife through butter. The album masterfully blends traditional blues influences with Buchanan's own unique style, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh at the same time. His emotive playing is nothing short of mesmerising, effortlessly weaving intricate melodies and soulful bends that tug at the heartstrings. Tracks like "The Messiah Will Come Again" showcase Buchanan's technical prowess, with jaw-dropping solos that will leave you in awe of his sheer skill. But it's not all about flash and pyrotechnics - songs like "Short Fuse" demonstrate Buchanan's ability to convey raw emotion through his playing, with each note dripping with feeling. "When a Guitar Plays the Blues" is a must-listen for any fan of blues music, or anyone who appreciates the artistry of a truly gifted musician. Buchanan's talent is undeniable, and this album is a testament to his enduring legacy in the world of blues guitar.
