Artist: WEST, SPEEDY
Title: Steel Guitar
Label: SUNDAZED
Format: CD
Price: $13.50
Catalog #: SC 9007CD
Originally issued on Capitol, 1960. "Fresh from backing early hits by Tennessee Ernie Ford and other Capitol Records artists, Speedy West, country music's first pedal-steel guitarist cut a series of staggeringly wonderful sides in the early '50s. Here's the best of West -- accompanied by his perennial sidekick, lightning-fingered guitarist Jimmy Bryant -- featuring a series of fiery instrumentals such as 'Speedin' West,' a song so beloved it was tabbed by many a country DJ as his theme song, balanced out by reflective ballads such as 'West Of Samoa' and tranquil desert excursions like 'Sunset.' Tracked 50 years ago, this material sounded timelessly wonderful then and is just as verdant and invigorating today."


Artist: WEST, SPEEDY

"A string-bending steel guitar romp through a set of 12 Speedy West-penned originals aided by famed L.A. studio cats like Billy Strange and Earl Palmer.

From dreamy sunset-on-the-desert-style numbers to dazzling Wild West swingers, Guitar Spectacular represents the final two words in steel guitar: Speedy West."
