Roy Buchanan - The Messiah Will Come Again

American blues artist Roy Buchanan is one of the world's greatest guitarists, and his most famous song is the really, truly, deeply wonderful "The Messiah Will Come Again", the key track off his 1972 eponymous second album. Mostly instrumental it's a masterclass in atmospheric and beautiful guitar playing that at times sound completely otherworldly. If you like Santana songs such as "Europa (Earth's Cry, Heaven's Smile)" or "I Love You Much Too Much" you'll fall utterly in love with "The Messiah Will Come Again", if you don't already, that is. What a fabulous six minutes of beauty!
