Mainly a blues(y) guitarist, praised by genre experts for his unique way of playing, and partly a vocalist, Buchanan turned down the offer to join the Rolling Stones (Ron Wood accepted), He was found hanging in a cell the morning after an arrest for public intoxication. Being ruled a suicide, he likely didn't survive being beaten up by policemen covering their crime by hanging his body.
