Subject: ISO News of Ian Buchanan From: Finn McCool Date: 06 May 02 - 10:45 AM Dear Catters, Once upon a time there was a rising star of the folk-blues scene named Ian Buchanan. Ian was a student of Rev. Gary Davis and taught Jorma Kaukonen (sp?) of Hot Tuna how to play blues licks. The last I heard of Ian Buchanan was that he had been in a very serious auto accident and was paralyzed. This was some years ago, and I have been wondering what became of him. Anybody know? --Finn |
Subject: RE: ISO News of Ian Buchanan From: Troll Date: 06 May 02 - 11:13 AM According to Jorma , he is dead. Heres a to an interview where he mentions Buchannan. You might e-mail him for more info. I think his address is given in the interview. troll |

Subject: RE: ISO News of Ian Buchanan From: Finn McCool Date: 07 May 02 - 09:59 AM Clicky is working fine. Thanks, Troll. Do you know if Ian recorded much? My search of Amazon.com only turned up videos of the actor Ian Buchanan, who is not the same person. --Finn |
Subject: RE: ISO News of Ian Buchanan From: Rick Fielding Date: 07 May 02 - 11:02 AM The only recording of his that I've heard is "Whinin Boy" on "The Blues Project" album. (Think that's what it was called and it MAY have been on Electra) Liked him. Rick |

There's also a site by one Bennett Harris (http://www.bennettharrisblues.com/ confirming Buchanan's death ('the late IB') |
Subject: RE: ISO News of Ian Buchanan From: Stefan Wirz Date: 23 Jan 08 - 03:07 AM I have been informed that there's a 4 CD box set due out shortly of Ian Buchanan: Ian Buchanan: Too Close to Heaven A Retrospective Collection, 1957-1982 More info (no track list yet) at http://www.windingboy.com ... ... and - where else - the Ian Buchanan discography |
Subject: RE: ISO News of Ian Buchanan From: Big Al Whittle Date: 23 Jan 08 - 10:24 AM That's good news. The Blues Project Album was almost certainly my biggest influence as a guitarist. And Ian's track seemed like almost classical guitar in its approach. I was so sad to hear of his unhappy life, and wish I could have met him and told him how great I thought he was. bigalwhittle |
Subject: RE: ISO News of Ian Buchanan From: GUEST,Mike in DC Date: 14 Feb 08 - 11:00 PM The Blues Project LP contained tracks from several excellent musicians - John Koerner, Geoff Muldauer, Dave van Ronk, Dave Ray, etc. - but for me the highlight was Ian Buchanan's Winding Boy. I too was sorry to hear about his sad life. I'll be keeping an eye out for the retrospective set. Mike |
Subject: RE: ISO News of Ian Buchanan From: GUEST,Tunesmith Date: 15 Feb 08 - 04:22 PM I, too, thought Ian's track was the hightlight of the album. |
