You Know I have kept up with this thread. I find it hard to believe that when talking about great blues guitarist that no one mentions Roy Buchanan? While I admit his vocals wasn't the greatist, his guitar work is truly great. He lived the life of a bluesman right to the end. (died in the drunk tank either suicide or killed according to whos story you believe) and his blues seem to really be from the heart. Many other blues artist say Buchanan could do things on the guitar that others just couldn't do. While I think sometimes his playing is a little too fast, it is still increadble.Listning to Roy Buchanan do hey Joe live, or Messiah can bring tears to the eyes. Well thanks for letting me rant, Off to listen to some Roy.....
