Roger Hubbard Brighton Belle Blues catalog-no. tx 1021 blues - 1997 track listing

A first release on CD for this lost guitar album from the early seventies, originally recorded for Nick Perls' Blue Goose label. A solo effort from 1971 that presents Buick 6's guitar maestro as a stern disciple of the classic folk and country blues repertoire - with the occasional original composition thrown in. Still dynamic, accurate and fresh performances by a still underrated player from the UK.

“ ...he could be one of the most exciting acoustic guitarists to come along since John Fahey. Whatever he does, he has created in this record a sort of monument to the full flowing of white blues scholarship... “
