When a Guitar Plays the Blues
In Buchanan's case, blues or not, wallpaper peels and mountains move. On this 1985 album the former rockabilly guitarist whose technique earned him wide acclaim in the early 1970s agitates the program with a virtuosity that defines the parameters of sonic extremism. Buchanan and Chicagoans Otis Clay and Gloria Hardiman provide a few vocals, the former ineptly and the latter two adequately.-- © Frank John Hadley 1993--From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
