Fred Chapellier & Friends – A Tribute To Roy Buchanan

It was almost with awe that guitarist Fred Chapellier embarked on this vibrant homage to the genius of six-string guru Roy Buchanan. For this exploration into Roy’s repertoire, Fred sought the help of ace musicians—including Billy Price, longtime vocalist with the Buchanan band, Neal Black, Tom Principato, Miguel M., Gib Wharton and Lightfoot Rivet—while production chores were handled by none other than Jean Roussel, the man who produced one of Roy’s last effort, « You’re Not Alone ». A winner!
