Editorial Reviews
From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
The late guitarist's twelfth and last recording has stretches when he slows his attack down, thinks methodically, and takes heed of form and direction; at such times his storytelling is immensely more concise than usual. To hell with believable stories, though; the instrumental "-High Wire" is wilder and more fantastic than a whirling dervish juggling knives on a trampoline. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993

5.0 out of 5 stars
His last Opus!,
By Hiram Gomez Pardo (Valencia, Venezuela) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Hot Wires (Audio CD)
This was pitifully the last recording of this enfant terrible of the Rock: Roy Buchanan who still had so much to give and so much to say. He lefts us in a very early age.
This album contains one of the Best Blues of hos persona career: Blues lover, extraordinary. We must mention the special version of 25 miles a remake of the original Soul singer Edwin Star of 1969. But there is still more: The instrumental Hot wires is atrue tour de force all the way; his flamboyant Flash Chordin, Country Boogie and the enrapturing Sunset over Broadway. Go for this album it's a must in your personal collection. Roy Buchanan: In memoriam!

Roy's swan song...,
By Bete Noire (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hot Wires (Audio CD)
Two of the stars on this album are not with us anymore:Roy,the genius,and Stan Szelest,his keyboard player.In many ways,this is a culmination of Buchanan's career,featuring four instrumentals,and a number of guest vocalists,such as:Kanika Kress and John Sayles.The style is exactly what we have become accustomed to expect from this guitar wiz(who also sings):lots of soul and scorching guitar that will leave your rock rolling.Roy Buchanan the master,gone but not forgotten...
5.0 out of 5 stars
Best of his career,
By
This review is from: Hot Wires (Audio CD)
The last 3 albums Roy made were made in the 80's for the Alligator label. Those 3 albums are the best of his career in my opinion (though "Second Album" from 1973 also deserves praise). The Hot Wires album is memorable, cohesive, and full of unbelievably stellar moments!
I would recommend Roy's live albums first, but this one's my favorite of all his albums. And incidentally the Sweet Dreams Anthology is a great distillation of his career before the Alligator years.
