Roy kinda reminds me of ole Pete Townsend

he does not just play he independently mutes any thing he does not want to hear, with his hands to get that sweet tone coming through. Scary good!

I hate this song. I listen to it everyday. And it just keeps getting better. But, but, I can't elevate this and only this to #1 on my playlist, people will think I'm stark raving mad!
Like I said,... I hate this ridiculously cool old blues song...

Buchanan was with the original Hawks (later known as "The Band"), and Levon Helm says he was a strange person with weird eyes and a bizarre sense of humor. And where Ronnie Hawkins wanted showmanship in his musicians (dance steps and so forth) he just let Buchanan stand on the side of the stage and play the living crap out of the guitar. You can hear his influence on The Band's Robbie Robertson, though Robertson on his best day (I feel) can't touch what Buchanan did on an average day.

@playrealblues : Dino Kruse once brought me a bucket of old parts and a swamp-ash Tele body he picked from a friend in New Orleans. He promised to come back and show me how to replicate an exact copy of a '61. Tele, with the single pick-up. (I guess he was thinking it might sound somewhat like the one shown here.) A month flew by, and I decided to tackle it on my own. The result was, unfortunately, that someone in NO is playing a very expensive unsigned replica. -tsg

ITS THE SINGER NOT THE SONG, THAT MAKES THE MUSIC MOVE ALONG!!!



I play the electric guitar since about 30 years now and I can assure you that it's NOT only the guitar, the wood or something else. FIRST of all the sound comes from the guitarist. It's the artist, not the gear that you recognize.
When i play my strat or my tele they sound like me, if my fellow guitarist plays them they sound totally different. Thats it, it's in the fingers, not in the wood!
