Roy Buchanan is a 1972 self-titled album by American guitarist and blues musician Roy Buchanan.[1] It is his second album and first for Polydor. AllMusic commented "It is a loose, highly improvised affair that amply demonstrates why the leader is one of the underappreciated giants of rootsy guitar".[1]
