"This CD is one of the long lost gems by the legendary great master of the guitar Roy Buchanan. My Babe /ERA is not hard to
find anymore thanks to K-Tel International who are distributing the killer CD. Released in '80 originally on Waterhouse
Records, this material shows Roy covering once again a vast musical landscape. There's some Funk, instrumental Blues, Rock
and Ballads only the way this guitar genius could interpret the them. Roy gives the Little Walter classic "My Babe" a searingworkout and his beautiful instrumental of "Secret Love" touches into the depths of this torched artists soul. Nobody who ever
picked up guitar in the limelight speaks the guitar vocabulary like this guy! Other show stoppers include two more
instrumentals by him. "My Sonata" is just marvelous and haunting at the same time and the Blues "Blues For Gary" is breath
taking! He leaves no stone unturned! Throughout these recordings he is backed by a variety of drummers (3) and keysman &
vocalist Paul Jacobs along with bassist Gordon Johnson on all cuts. A must for a real guitar lover!"
