Roy Buchanan ‎– That's What I Am Here For

Release date:1973 

Genre: Blues Rock

In 1973 Buchanan released his third album "That's What I'm Here For", produced by Reich, which proved uneven and was roundly condemned by Rolling Stone.
The stronger tracks were the cover version of "Hey Joe", Buchanan's tribute to Hendrix, is enough to seal Buchanan's reputation, with some lightning fast and super heavy blues runs,  "Home Is Where I Lost Her," a tale of the death of a lady friend, "Nephesh" - Hebrew for "soul" (one story that has been confirmed, "Rodney's Song," a soulful Southern rocker that would have been at home on an early Allman Brothers album.
During the sessions for this record, Buchanan met John Lennon, who was mixing an album in an adjacent studio. Lennon offered to play on Buchanan's album, and invited the guitarist to lay down some licks on his LP, but Buchanan blew him off).
