TENNESSEE GUITAR

Tuesday, November 11, 2008

Here's my very first post, a great 1962 Starday LP, "Tennessee Guitar". They're all well known names except for the obscure Eddie Eddings, who contributes what is in my opinion the standout track, "Country Boogie". Eddings apparently played with the late Sonny Fisher and had a vocal 45 on Starday as well. Another noteworthy track here is the Thumbs Carllile (here spelled Carlisle) classic "Springfield Guitar Social" in which a roomful of anthropomorphic guitars are arguing about who has the nicest guitar style. If you've never witnessed Thumbs Carllile in action, I strongly recommend making your way over to youtube and checking it out, it must be seen to be believed...
