Video Pick Of The Week

Roy Buchanan was a master guitarist whose unprecedented technique made him a blues hero who has long been considered one of the finest, yet criminally overlooked guitarists of the blues rock genre whose lyrical leads and use of harmonics would later influence such guitar greats as Jeff Beck, his one-time student Robbie Robertson and ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons. In celebration of Roy’s 87^th Birthday on Wednesday the 23^rd I would like to recommend the 1971 documentary Introducing Roy Buchanan in which “the greatest rock guitarist in the world” that hardly anyone has ever heard of. Hosted by rock impresario Bill Graham includes a live concert from New York by Buchanan and his rock group displaying his virtuosity in other musical genres as he performs with country-and-western stars Merle Haggard and Roy Nichols,
jazz artist Mundell Lowe and the Johnny Otis Blues Band
