Bassist on Roy Buchanan's "Baltimore"

The liner notes just list Roy & Charlie Daniels who also was the writer. The rest are listed as unknown. The recording dates are listed as October 1969, January 1970 & February 1971, probably the reason it's hard to track down.

Peter Van Allen played on two of his early albums (Roy Buchanan and Second) and also on this:

As the song was from his unreleased first album for Polydor, Peter Van Allen might be the guy. Just guessing.

Thanks, both - it's a nice, popping bass line.

Thread revival.

I've been wondering this myself. Great bass line and sound.

Could it be John Harrison? On a Precision?

I've listened to quite a few of Roy's albums and the Baltimore bass sound has very similar sound to other songs that John Harrison played in.

Crazy - this thread revival took me right back to where I was sitting when I posted these in 2007. So much has happened in the past 17 years!

Looks like it’s Tim Drummond

It had a Hip-O Select reissue in 2004 as “The Prophet: The Unreleased First Polydor Album”, and is also streaming.
