Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing the staggering, multi-layered fingerpicking technique that fundamentally revolutionized the modern electric guitar, the influential producer and instrumentalist delivers an exceptionally polished solo set. The remarkably clean, echo-drenched tracks elegantly bridge driving country boogie structures with sophisticated, jazz-inflected chord voicings. The historically vital recordings laid the highly commercialized, immaculately produced groundwork for the impending Nashville Sound.
