| | Roy Buchanan : A Street Called Straight - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | Under the direction of Arif Mardin, and sporting the same combo that he had been using during his practically incessant touring, this disc is infinitely stronger than his previous non-live effort, In the Beginning (1974). |
 | | Buchanan definitely sounds not only in his element throughout this title, but he rises to the occasion, providing some of his most incendiary licks and aggressive instrumental interaction in a studio setting. |
 | | Rather than including one or two of his own pieces in an album consisting of primarily cover material, nine of the 11 cuts are, at the very least, co-written by Buchanan. |
