This week on the Golden Road, we have a special show featuring the music of legendary blues-rock guitarist Roy Buchanan. Roy was known as the “The Best Unknown Guitarist in the World,” and he left his mortal coil thirty years ago this week. Sadly, Roy’s music is now largely forgotten. However, we here at the Golden Road are trying to remedy this dire situation this week by serving you all up a big healthy portion of some of his finest sounds for your musical enjoyment and edification!
This show was for me and the people of Pittsburgh, Pa who loved their adopted son Roy Buchanan!

Listen now as we talk with Sam Nelson on his second appearance with us.. Sam Nelson is based in Sacramento. For Samual, music is the one thing that lets him truly live in the moment and feel catharsis. While performing his main goal is to express the truest meaning of the song. Sam sings 2 originals in this hour both songs do the title of this show justice, check out those lyrics. The last song Sam sings is a Nirvana cover "pennyroyal Tea" and he nailed it.

“Cowboys and Poets.” This episode is named after the title of a song we’ll be playing today and also because many of the songs and poems are about the cowboy life. You’ll hear new works from Mike Blakely, Gary Allegretto, Doris Daley and an old classic from Patsy Montana. Take the next hour, if you can,to set aside your daily cares and let the music and poetry fill your soul.
