Roy Lanham Adobe Hacienda / Lanham Boogie + 2 (RED VINYL)

Limited Edition Red Vinyl&with tracks only available here! 1959 recordings, previously unissued in any format! Pressed on red waxa tribute to Roy's signature red Fender Jazzmaster guitar! The space-age guitar sound of Roy Lanham! A guitarist's guitarist, Lanham had no less a player than Merle Travis commenting about listening to his records in admirationhis clean, jazzy lines were a fountain of inspiration for several generations of pickers! After touring heavily in the 1940s with acts like western swing pioneer Hank Penny and early pop idol Gene Austin, Lanham was at his peak in 1959 when he made these recordings, which have never been issued in any form until now! Includes the stunning My Adobe Hacienda, a romping original Lanham Boogie, and takes on Carnival In Paris and Song of India, both of which Lanham would later record for other labels, all featuring his gorgeous tone wrapped in vintage (and cool!) tape delay echo! With a small, unobtrusive combo backing Lanhams tasteful, complex lines, these are not the typically overproduced instrumental recordings of the late 50s but the genuine sound of a guitar leader and his supporting musicians deftly playing through tunes they clearly knew and loved. Pressed on red waxa tribute to Roy's famed red Jazzmasterwith new notes by Rich Kienzle, this is an indispensable collection of previously unissued guitar mastery! Track listing: 1.
