For the first review, Roy Buchanan's "Loading Zone" goes on the table. I found this sifting through a crate under one of the main tables and had to listen just to hear the telecaster on the front play. As it turned out, it was a very decent record.
Recorded in march of 77 at Electric Lady studios, it is a bit hard to define just what style he's putting across, but that does not rob from the music. Seven of the nine tracks are instrumentals, with Steve Cropper appearing on a few tracks for both lead and rhythm guitar giving the record more of a Booker T feel.
The opening track is a nice mid-paced upbeat instrumental, giving a taste of the variety of the record. "Ramon's Blues" is a good Chicago-blues style, nice and slow.
"Adventures of Brer Rabbit & Tar Baby" would be recognized in the ...Hotel 6 commercials? The one where they will leave the light on for you.
Very good record imo.
