Roy Buchanan - Live From Austin, TX - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Rolling Stones wanted him to replace Brian Jones, and Eric Clapton asked him to play the guitar for Derek & The Dominos - but he turned down both offers. Roy Buchanan was a true master of the Fender Telecaster guitar; and his playing technique significantly influenced musicians such as Gary Moore and Jeff Beck. He moved to Los Angeles when he was a teenager and played in the band Heartbeats with Spencer Dryden. After this, he went on tour with Dale Hawkins and played with Robbie Robertson (The Band) who described Buchanan as one of his main influences. In the sixties Roy Buchanan got married, moved to Washington D. C. and worked as a studio musician for more than one hundred album productions. His first solo album was only released in 1971 and led to the result that he and his inimitable playing of the Fender Telecaster was a well-kept secret among the likes of John Lennon, Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones. Despite this reputation and the huge success he experienced in the seventies, Buchanan felt restricted in the creativity granted to him by the record companies. In 1981 he decided to go on a four year break. This Rockpalast concert was recorded at the Markthalle in Hamburg on February 24, 1985 - just three years before his tragic suicide. It is a performance that shows Roy Buchanan's genius on the guitar in an extremely unique way - especially with his brilliant covers by several artists, including Jimi Hendrix or Don Gibson.

Bold, weird, wild, wired, sonically luxurious yet never losing touch with it's DIY-'til-I-die roots, Thumb World is a voyage to the outer rings of Pictish Trail's mind at it's darkest, funniest and most inventive - a plugged-in, fuzzed-out, fucked-up contemplation on, as he puts it, Inchlife repeating and gradually degrading, the inevitable cyclical nature of things, and the sense of their ultimately being no escape.Inch Expect alien abductions, thumping beats, Trump-haired pigs, paternal panic, astronaut S*x, bad acid trips, worse hangovers, lashings of distortion and a lot of anthropomorphic thumbs. InchOur opposable thumbs are the things that separate us from most other animals on Earth, Inch Pictish explains, of the fat digit symbolism, Inchthey are also the things that we use to swipe on screens, to separate ourselves from our normal lives, but which in turn trap us within an artificial reality.InchProduced and mixed by Rob Jones, featuring string arrangements from Kim Moore and drumming from Alex Thomas (Squarepusher, Anna Calvi, Air), Thumb World is Pictish Trail's most collaborative album to date. An audio-visual dialogue with Swatpaz, AKA Scottish artist Davey Ferguson - the man behind the Turbo Fantasy series and an entire episode of cult TV phenomenon Adventure Time - furnished Johnny with not just a graphic aesthetic for the album, but even helped him to shape the sound of the finished record. InchI sent Davey a work-in-progress mix of the album, Inch Johnny says, Inchhe came back with sketches in which he had reimagined Thumb World as an 80's arcade game. Some of the songs are centered around specific visual images, inspired by Davey's sketches.InchDue for on Fire Records on February 21, 2020. Four years in the making, Thumb World is the much-anticipated follow-up to his critically acclaimed Scottish Album of the Year Award public vote winner Future Ech
