Dave Allan - Country Music People: "Buchanan's latest album, The Picture, is packed to the rafters with original songs and wonderfully effervescent performances backed by lashings of hot and cool steel, Dobro, mandolin, bass, drums and some wicked lead guitar.  This is country music that sits easily beside the likes of Waylon and Willie, and is a perfect showcase for the Best of British."

Jenny Alder – Americana UK Website: “Buchanan play it straight down the line, but in a way that is infectious enough to ensure that if you love this kind of music, you can’t help but enjoy it. Buchanan don’t miss a beat. No matter the band are actually from Manchester – they play this kind of music well and with an irreverent kind of respect and an unashamed passion, and perhaps their enthusiasm is all the more evident for them having been born on this side of the pond.”

Bill Beaver - Triste Magazine: "As you’d expect from a band who list their influences as ranging from Cash and Haggard to Parsons and The Jayhawks, it’s good, honest, straight-down-the-line country; well-crafted, melodic songs, written, played and sung with a passion only possible if you have a real love and feel for the music. The band may hail from England’s North West rather than America’s Southwest but listen to a track like ‘When the Sun Shines Bright’ - with Telecaster and pedal steel trading chicken-pickin' licks in the style of Messrs Burton and Perkins on Parsons’ ‘Ooh Las Vegas’ - and it’s clear that Buchanan are the real deal."

Dave Cash Country Countdown Show:”I wish these guys the best of luck. They sound as good as any of the good American bands."
