Which Roy Buchanan Album Should Be My First?

G'Day fellas, With Christmas just a month away my wife is asking about CDs I'd like. I don't have any Roy B. stuff and I've read here on the TDPRI that some of the later releases don't do him justice. So which one would you get? One album is the limit at the moment.
Thanks in advance - bj

The first one - simply titled "Roy Buchanan" is a must-have. "Second Album" is - you guessed it - his second album - also great. If you don't have any of his stuff yet, you can't go wrong with either or both of these.

If I could just have 1 Roy B album or CD it would be Roy Buchanan's second album thats its actual name.

Every song is a Telecaster masterpiece.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again

My first Roy was "20th Century Masters". Can't go wrong. 8)

My favorite Telecaster Tone album of all time is "Roy Buchanan - Second Album". I have a about 8 of his albums and the Second Album is my favorite and also his Alligator release "When a guitar plays the Blues" is also a good example of his Telecaster work.

Roy B CD

G'day BJ

I have a double cd compilation called, I think, "Anthology". It's great and seems to have tracks from most of his best albums - "Sweet Dreams", The Messiah", "After Hours" etc. Well worth the wonga!

Regards

Dave
