520 1 $a"From the birth of rock and roll to his puzzling death in 1988, guitarist Roy Buchanan forged a wildly emotive style melding blues, country, jazz, and rock and roll. With a genius for expression that ranged from explosive to heartbreaking, and an astonishing arsenal of techniques, Buchanan was on the road to fame in 1957 - at the age of 17. But this enigmatic, demon-chasing guitarist became a reluctant superstar, even turning down an offer to join the Rolling Stones.
520 8 $aThis vivid narrative zeroes in on Buchanan's odyssey through America's honky-tonks and beer joints - where he played free from the trappings of fame. The book also includes discography plus details on Buchanan's guitars and techniques - and features reminiscences from Dale Hawkins, Les Paul, Jeff Beck, Jerry Garcia, and others. Roy Buchanan is a bittersweet portrayal of an American guitar hero who lived for the next opportunity to play."--BOOK JACKET.
