 (1 Customer Review)
First released in 1968, STRICTLY GUITAR was Merle Travis's final instrumental album for Capitol. It features the country guitarist and songwriter displaying his casual mastery of the fretboard on a variety of standards, including some popular songs of the 1920s and '30s, like "Lazy River," "I'll See You in My Dreams," and "Cuddle Up a Little Closer," as well as a couple of original compositions, "Dance of the Goldenrod" and "Cannon Ball Rag." There's also a humorous nod to the sonic wizardry of Les Paul in the accelerated soloing of "Fishers Horn Pipe." Travis's guitar style, which influenced both Doc Watson and Chet Atkins, is a melodic blend of country and folk fingerpicking with a jazz sheen, both technically brilliant and immensely appealing.Dirty Linen (p.89) - "Merle Travis originated a particular style of finger-picking known as the 'Travis Style,' a syncopated rhythm of the thumb and index finger, which soon became popular with country and rockabilly musicians in the 1950s."

| | Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison CD (1968)
Strictly Guitar music CDs
$6.25  
This is a multi-channel Super Audio CD playable only in Super Audio CD players.
Recorded live at Folsom Prison, Folsom, California on January 13, 1968. Includes liner notes by Johnny Cash and Steve Earle.
Want to hear part of the reason why Johnny Cash is an icon, a singer respected and influential in country, folk, and rock & roll? THIS is it! In 1968--one of the most tumultuous years in American history since the Depression years--Cash recorded an album live in front of a (literally) captive (but wildly appreciative) audience, in Folsom Prison. With two guitars, bass, drums, and a small vocal group (including Cash's wife June Carter Cash and the Statler Brothers), Cash sings his hits and lesser-known songs ("Send a Picture of Mother") and ...

Strictly Guitar music CDs
$9.05
The Long Ryders' 1984 full-length debut is one of the defining albums of the mid-'80s roots-rock scene, a loose amalgamation of bands reacting against the MTV-ready crop of synth-pop superstars by playing guitar-heavy country-influenced rock and roll. Heavily influenced by Gram Parsons and the Buffalo Springfield, singer/songwriter Sid Griffin and crew mix the '60s revivalism of the then-current Paisley Underground scene with a fondness for mandolins and other bluegrass instruments which ...
| | Darryl Worley I Miss My Friend CD (2002)
Strictly Guitar songs
$7.29
Country hunk Darryl Worley's sophomore album is a tour de force of country hooks, steel guitars, and old-timey fiddles--and incidentally some pretty fine songwriting, as evidenced by songs such as "I Wouldn't Mind the Shackles" and the title track, both of which deal with the traditional country dilemmas of love and loss, and how to get a hit record out of them. There's a refreshing lack of gloss in I MISS MY FRIEND, recalling Dwight Yoakam's early releases, with some hot picking courtesy of Nashville's finest, a great road song in "Calling Caroline," and some folksy, homespun philosophy with "Family Tree" and "Back Where I Belong." Worley's a traditionalist in the best sense--Hank Williams would recognize the subject matter of "The Least That You Can Do"--and his songwriting is honest, catchy, and sentimental in the grand Nashville tradition. With more than a hint of iron in its soul, I MISS MY FRIEND is a refreshing antidote to the big-budget bluster of some recent country releases.
