Sunday Under the Covers - Down By The River - The Best Unknown Guitarist in the World - 4th in a Series

Posted about 1 year ago


Roy Buchanan

Roy attacks this classic Neil Young dirge with a vengeance and smolders his way through an incredibly harrowing solo that makes this the best version of this song I've ever heard. Lead vocals on this are by Gary St. Clair with Luther Vandross listed among the background singers.

    The guitar is great fer shure. The rest of the arrangement sticks a little too close to Mr. Young's original to be interesting. To moi!
