Carlini’s World of Strings – Million Seller Hits of the 50’s

Sleeve Notes:

It hardly seems possible that twenty years can separate us from an unforgettable melody like “I could have danced all night” yet it is indeed twenty years ago that this classic from the pens of Lerner and Loewe first hit the ears of theatre-goers who flocked in their thousands to “My Fair Lady”. As a tribute to the million sellers of the 1950s, this album from the maestro Carlini brings back memories of the songs that filled this particular era with conspicuous success. Lerner and Loewe were just two of the names who contributed to our musical enjoyment in the ’50s and they, along with composers like LeRoy Anderson and Rogers and Hammerstein are well represented on an album that is filled with some truly timeless music.

The Party Sound of the Super Guitar of Lightnin’ Red

His full artistry comes from the incredible speed of his fingering

Sleeve Notes:

Folks down around Texarkana way say, “Give ole Lightnin’ Red anything with strings on it an’ he’ll sure as hell play it.” Red’s picking is naturally slanted to country with a blues flavour. This is his bag! His use of wah-wah and other electronic gear is employed to the fullest measure – but his full artistry comes from the incredible speed of his fingering. Listen to his fingers pushing notes through his amplifiers. You’ll soon know why he is called Lightnin’ Red – Super Guitar.
