Roy Buchanan - After Hours album flac

Leroy "Roy" Buchanan (September 23, 1939 – August 14, 1988) was an American guitarist and blues musician. A pioneer of the Telecaster sound, Buchanan worked as a sideman and as a solo artist, with two gold albums early in his career and two later solo albums that made it to the Billboard chart. He never achieved stardom, but he is still considered a highly influential guitar player. Guitar Player praised him as having one of the "50 Greatest Tones of All Time.

Album, 1972, Polydor. 2. I Am a Lonesome Fugitive. Album, 1973, Polygram. 3. Five String Blues. 6. I Won't Tell You No Lies. 7. Tribute To Elmore James. 8. She Once Lived Here.

This single CD contains Roy Buchanan's major-label debut LP Roy Buchanan (1972) and the follow-up, Second Album (1973). After the record company rejected a request from the artist to release a live set, Buchanan surreptiously issued the platter on his own under the guise of Buck & the Snake Stretchers (1971). Polydor essentially took the same core personnel, removed them from their more familiar concert club environs and put them into the comparatively sterile recording studio to cut much of the same material

Roy Buchanan The Life and Times of Roy Buchanan By Phil Carson Roy Buchanan and his battered 1953 Telecaster guitar got inside your head and grabbed you in th. There was also an after-hours club called the Dunes, where all the musicians listened to Johnny Caswell and his band. Roy was working on new material at the time, and would go to listen to sax players. He especially loved King Curtis, whom he had worked with in the early ’60s.

So here's what I think re this 2-album disc. The first album is brilliant, but that brilliance is based on 4 wonderful tracks, basically (and if you have a compilation you'll know which those are). The others are pretty uninteresting filler. Five tracks are Roy Buchanan originals (9, 11, 12, 14 and 15) - the other three are "After Hours" (an Avery Parish cover, Pianist with The Erskine Hawkins Orchestra), "Treat Her Right" (a Roy Head cover) and "She Once Lived Here" (a Gene Autry cover). Chuck Tilley sings Lead Vocals only on "Treat Her Right" with Roy Buchanan singing Lead Vocals only on "Thank You Lord" - the other six tracks are Instrumentals.
