Roy Buchanan - Second Album

1973

Buchanan was a virtuoso of the Fender Telecaster, with an expressive use of harmonics and controlled feedback among other techniques, which set a high standard for many guitarists who came after him. He was admired by such artists as Steve Cropper, Stanley Jordan, Jeff Beck, Robbie Robertson and the Rolling Stones, who considered Roy as a replacement for Mick Taylor during the mid ’70’s.

A teenage prodigy, Roy first made his name playing on rockabilly star Pete Hawkins’ minor hits ‘My Babe’ and ‘Grandma’s House’. Further stints occurred with Bob Luman, Canadian rocker Ronnie Hawkins & The Hawks, and Freddy Cannon. However, he wasn’t nationally discovered until 1971 when a PBS documentary led to a multi-album deal with Polydor.
