About this album

My Babe shows Roy Buchanan turning blues-rock into something lean, soulful and sharply expressive. Issued in 1980, the album centres on Buchanan’s fluent guitar work, where liquid bends, abrupt bursts of speed and a vocal-like touch carry both covers and originals. His version of the title song sits alongside choices such as Secret Love and Dizzy Miss Lizzy, while the original material keeps the set grounded in modern electric blues. By this point Buchanan was already revered by players for his phrasing and tone, and My Babe reinforces why his name remains a touchstone for guitar-driven blues rock.
