I just got this emailed to me. All you guitar crazy guys should dig it.

If it doesn't belong here, my apologies and moderator feel free to move it.


Powerhouse Records and Tom Principato is proud to announce the Aug.18, 2009 release from Fender Telecaster icon and guitar legend and virtuoso Roy Buchanan of the CD "Roy Buchanan Live: Amazing Grace" from their "Guitarchives" Series. These recordings are rare and unreleased never heard performances and many come from the Roy Buchanan estate. Most are unknown even in "collectors" circles, and date from the period 1972 - 1983 and feature many great musicians such as Dick Heintze, Malcolm Lukens, Tom Hambridge, Robbie Magruder and many others accompanying Roy at such notable venues as the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, the Lone Star Cafe' in New York and the legendary Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, Texas. There are 8 tracks total from 7 venues and a CD length of 45 minutes of pure Roy Buchanan at his best. A stunning version of Roy solo doing Malaguena from 1972 is a highlight. Topping off the artwork package are two archival photos taken by legendary Rolling Stone photographer Jim Marshall at one of Roy's concerts in San Francisco, Ca. in 1973.

Gotta love Roy. Between him and Danny Gatton, the DC area was blessed with two of the best. Amazing that these guys never made it bigger than they did. Oops, forgot to mention Nils (prior to Crazy Horse and Springsteen).

Grillebilly - Do you have any of the early Grin LP's? Pretty tasty stuff although certainly more poppish than Roy or Danny.

I have a few, the one with the tennis shoe, Fat Man, one with a Psychedelic cover....

Thanks for all the links, Roy was my hero. Got to talk to him, meet his kids, took my dad to see him at The Bayou in Georgetown. Saw him every chance I could. When he died in the jail about a mile from my house, I circled the date on the calendar at work and left it up until we closed shop a couple years ago.
Between him and Danny Gatton, who also took his life, DC had the two best guitarists I have ever seen live. God, I miss them.

I sent to see Roy in high school at My Mother's Place (Conn. and M., now defunct) on many occassions in the '71 timeframe. As for Danny, I used to see him every Wednesday night at Gallaghers Penn St. Station on Capitol Hill (also defunct) in ~1986. Lord, these guys could play. Their loss left a big whole in the local music scene.

Thanks Grillbilly, looks like a fine collection of tunes. Always on the lookout for "New" Buchanan .

I posted on the release of his live from Austin, Texax DVD. When that was released, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!!

If either Roy or Danny would have had a singing voice they would have gone much further! But boy could they both play!
