While most of his contemporaries are following the fads of the day, Billy Buchanan is heavily influenced by artists that are based in a more soulful, bluesy singer - songwriter tradition. Current musicians like Ray Lamontagne, and Amos Lee, soul greats such as Otis Redding, Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, and southern rockers like The Doobie Brothers, and The Allman Brothers are just a few of the artists that pop in your mind when you hear Billy Buchanan’s latest album, The Music Man. Unapologetically wearing his influences on his sleeve, Buchanan borrows from the best, all the while creating his own unique blend of soul and southern rock. With help from his band, Free Avenue, Buchanan takes you on a fun filled musical journey that chronicles the experiences of a life long musician. Carefully wrapped in clever beats, soaring melodies, skillfully crafted chord progressions, and thought provoking lyrics, Buchanan documents the joy, loneliness, sadness, faith, and doubt that encompasses a musician’s life. The first single being pushed to radio is the upbeat title track, "The Music Man". |
