“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.
