GUITAR MAN all acoustic 8th full length album ~ released May 24, 2011
HONKY TONK DOLL |
My Granddaddy used to play & sing in a hillbilly band in the Aiken, SC / Augusta, GA area in the 1940s & '50s.
He was pretty well known locally, but never was famous. He probably would have been if he had continued.
In the late 1950s, he put his guitar in his closet & gave it all up to spend more time with his family.
I never saw him perform & he never saw me perform. He died twelve days before I turned 16.
He was one of the best friends I ever had.
This new album is a collection of acoustic songs I've written over the last several years,
all similar in style to what one might have heard in Granddaddy's day.
Many of them relate to various characteristics of & experiences in the life of the traveling musician.
Granddaddy's fashion of song was rather different than what you're all used to hearing from us, so the overall tone,
mood & content of this record is quite different from the rest of our albums & from our live performances.
Although, for the most part, it's pretty laid back & relaxed, it's still very intense in its own special way.
I love it & I'm very proud of it. I'd like to think Granddaddy would be too.
The photo on the cover is him when he was a teenager in the late 1930s.
The only instrument I used to cut my guitar work on this entire record was Granddaddy's old guitar...
...the same one he put down over fifty years ago.
I hope everyone enjoys listening to Guitar Man as much as Tom, Dave & I enjoyed recording it.
