In a few words:
Another great blues-man is presented here. A great guitar player that has influenced many guitarist (Gary Moore was one of them). His playing is exceptional with a lot of phrases in questioning - answering style. Even without words you can easily distinguish a dialog between the various guitar phrases. Although he has an excellent technique, his playing is quite emotional and with a lot of feeling. Furthermore, he has a very good voice and a classic blues-style way of singing. Apart from Roy's compositions, the album contains three excellent covers, with "After Hours" being exquisitely performed. If you like the blues I am sure that you will love this album. It's a classic blues masterpiece.
