	Roy Buchanan - Biography - AOL Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Roy Buchanan 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.
		Buchanan spent the remainder of the decade issuing solo albums, including such guitar classics as his 1972 self-titled debut (which contained one of Buchanan's best-known tracks, "The Messiah Will Come Again"), 1974's That's What I Am Here For, and 1975's Live Stock, before switching to Atlantic for several releases.
		Buchanan's stature as one of blues-rock's all-time great guitarist grew even greater after his tragic death, resulting in such posthumous collections as Sweet Dreams: The Anthology, Guitar on Fire: The Atlantic Sessions, Deluxe Edition, and 20th Century Masters.

		Roy's musical career took him from underground club gigs in the sixties and seventies to national television, gold record sales and worldwide tours in the eighties with the likes of Lonnie Mack, the Allman Brothers and many other blues/rock guitar icons.

	Fender Players Club - Roy Buchanan
		A brilliant guitarist whose name is barely known outside of certain guitar circles, Roy Buchanan's career was marked by frustration, disappointment, and ultimately, tragedy.
		But lack of commercial success and fame aside, Buchanan's legacy is a handful of enduring solo albums, accolades from some of rock's greatest players, and a contribution to rock music's vocabulary of his original techniques such as the volume swell and pinch harmonics.

		Buchanan apprenticed with '50s rockabilly star Dale Hawkins (and later, Hawkins's cousin Ronnie in the Hawks, soon to become the Band), but was in his 30s before he got the attention he so richly deserved.
		Roy's tone, given his long-time fried, the telecaster (most bluespeople use a stratocaster or a Gibson), has a bit of a country edge, but the playing is more blues than anything.
		Roy Buchanan may be one of the most overlooked and underrated blues guitar masters (yes, I said 'master').

		Here's Arkansan Levon Helm's acount of Buchanan's tenure as a Hawk with Ronnie: "For a short time, Fred [Carter Jr., who, yes, had played in Dale's band] was replaced by Roy Buchanan, a brilliant and moody player who definitely had his own mystique.

	Roy Buchanan Tribute site
		Most of the time, Roy's music is not very fast, it's slow, with a lot of feeling and subtlety, the kind of music to give you chills down your spine.
		But Buchanan's first goal was not to try to be the fastest guitar hero to impress people with his skills (even if he had the talent to play that game).
		Roy Was still a master of blues guitar but i have the impression that his stuff with Atlantic was not as powerful as the previous albums that were, as I said before, perfect.

	Roy Buchanan: American Axe Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		When Roy Buchanan's first album turned up in 1972, it was the aural equivalent of the Abominable Snowman turning up in line for brunch at the House of Pancakes.
		Buchanan had a way of playing with volume and tone knobs using fingers of his picking hand to produce vocalized tones-he could make the guitar cry, moan or scream¼and he did it all without breaking a sweat or c hanging his stolid expression.
		Buchanan went on to work for several years in the touring band of rockabilly singer Dale Hawkins, and also spent some time with Bob Luman, until he went into the army.

	Roy Buchanan : Roy Buchanan - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The recording and production on this, Roy Buchanan's first record for Polydor, is delightfully bare, sparse in ornamentation, and full of bum notes and aborted ideas that would be deleted on most commercial releases.
		There is a slight Michael Bloomfield influence felt in Buchanan's blues playing, most evident in the first chorus of "John's Blues" and the quasi-Eastern ornamentations on "Pete's Blue." He plays with pitch, placing notes in unexpected places, constantly keeping the listener guessing.
		Despite Tilley's presence, the main focus on this record is Buchanan's wailing guitar, which punctuating the vocals with bluesy cries and country moans.

	Roy Buchanan Biography : Oldies.com
		Although Buchanan is often erroneously credited with the break on the singer's much-lauded "Suzie-Q", contributions on "My Babe" and "Grandma's House" confirmed his remarkable talent.
		Buchanan also recorded with Freddie Cannon, Bob Luman and the Hawks, and completed several low-key singles in his own right before retiring in 1962.
		For some Buchanan's tone was a little sharp on the ear, but there could be no denying his rightful place as a guitar virtuoso.

	ROY BUCHANAN
		Roy Buchanan is one of the most influential guitarists in rock history; having notable beginnings with Dale Hawkins who was famous for 'Suzie Q'; Roy replaced James Burton in Dale's band, and it was James that had invented the lick on 'Suzie Q'.
		From there Roy joined Ronnie Hawkins and The Hawks (featuring most of the members who became The Band), and in 1969 Roy was signed to Polydor.
		Roy's music is the sort of music I love to listen to at 3am; comfortably loud, with a bourbon in one hand, and lover in the other.

		On the road and recording with Dale Hawkins by his teens, Buchanan became the law of the land around the Washington, D.C., area by the mid-to-late '60 s.
		His use of the Fender Telecaster, using high harmonic squeals in place of feedback and distortion, was part and parcel of rock guitar's vocabulary by the early '70 s.
		He left behind a number of records which testify that he was a word class guitarist, capable of tones and techniques that other guitarists only dream of, his wife, seven children and five grandchildren.

		The show of course, was the now legendary "Introducing Roy Buchanan", commonly (and very incorrectly) known as "The World's Greatest Unknown Guitarist".
		Buchanan's career was very checkered, and other than his very first album, his records didn't really capture Buchanan's smoldering passion for playing.
		Roy's death is still the subject of conjecture, and to some extent his recorded legacy needs to be managed better.

		While his blues moves are nice (many folks consider his "Five String Blues" to be an all time classic), to our ears rockers such as the leadoff instrumental "Filthy Teddy", "Treat Her Right" (Chuck Tilley handling the vocals) and "I Won't Tell You No Lies" are the true standout performances.
