Detailed Description
The Complete Twelve String Story CD
One of the most influential recordings in the folk guitar genre, the two volume Twelve String Story is a treasured artifact that has been relished by generations of guitar fans and has gone on to become one of the cornerstones of recorded guitar history. The great 12 string guitarist Leo Kottke, among many others, has often cited these albums as being among the first records that made him aware of the possibilities of the instrument and was most influential in developing his own style. The guitar players assembled for this wonderful record are all superstars in their own right - among them the great Glen Campbell, the king of all West Coast session guitarists Howard Roberts, the great Mason Williams (Classical Gas), Roger McGuinn whose signature twelve string sound fueled the country-rock sound of the Byrds, Country Music super-session players Joe Maphis and Bob Gibson, and the unique Billy Strange. Guitar enthusiasts will have reason to rejoice as this wonderful piece of Americana finally becomes available on CD.
