Look, Roy Buchanan is a guitar wizard.
It's the truth...maybe he didn't look all that cool, or front a rock band, but he could play just as good as any of 'em, and had a style all his own.
He could pull out tricks and gimmicks just the same.
This recording sees some blues rock workouts, mostly instrumental, but I dug "Down By The River" here, which sounds like Roy on vocals.
The recording itself reminds me of that Lonnie Brooks record Live at Pepper's 1968, maybe plugged into soundboard, or personal recording, but the electricity remains.
Nice guitar record.

Sound recording quality is really poor. It sounds like an audience recording bootleg from 70-ties.
Only 6 osngs and 2/3 of this album ir presented in normal sound qaulity on Sweet Dreams anthology, and the rest 1/3 is tipical blues numbers.
Overall -mateial here is form ok to exelent, but this record is not wothwhile for the recording qaulity.
