Roy Buchanan could make a Telecaster cry, snarl and sing within a single phrase, and Live From Austin, TX catches him doing all three on the Austin City Limits stage in 1976.
This anniversary edition arrives on blue vinyl, revisiting a performance long regarded as one of the finest filmed records of the Arkansas-born guitarist. Buchanan was a musician's musician, admired by peers and famously dubbed the best unknown guitarist in the world, yet he never chased fame with much enthusiasm. He died in 1988, aged 48.
The set is short on songs and long on fireworks, with each piece given room to unfold. "Roy's Bluz" lets him stretch out with stinging pinch harmonics and sudden bursts of speed, while his reading of Don Gibson's "Sweet Dreams" turns a country ballad into a weeping instrumental, all volume swells and bent notes that seem to hang in the air.
"Hey Joe" becomes a long, smouldering showcase, and "The Messiah" closes things with the kind of spiritual intensity that made his live shows legendary among guitar players.
For lovers of electric blues guitar, this is Buchanan in his prime, unfiltered and fearless, with an audience hanging on every note and a band giving him all the space he needs.
