Roy's second album is a Blues rock extravagenza and a superb album ! No question Roy was one of the best blues guitarists ever and this album get to show off his skills.
Buchanan had the blues........and had the ability to draw out so much emotion out of his guitar....literally they could speak !
Songs like "after hours" and " five string blues" just leap out of the stereo like he was literally talking thru his guitar to us.
Buchanan does not even sing until about 12 mins into the album...its just that kind of an album!
Canada's Jerry Mercer (April Wine) is the drummer featured on this album along with Dick Heintze (organ), Don Payne (bass) and Teddy Irwin on the rhythm guitar.
Side one ends with a real treasure.......a 2 minute blues-prayer called "thank you lord" which just works to perfection and is a short watermark for me on this incredible album.
