Masters of the Steel String Guitar

The sound of a steel string guitar (sometimes referred to as steel string acoustic guitar) is a louder, brighter sound than a nylon string guitar. This collection brings together four musicians considered to be masters of steel string guitars. The four musicians, Wayne Henderson, John Cephas, Eddie Pennington, and Johnny Beller, represent the broad spectrum of Americana roots music. Each performs individually and in ensemble settings, with all joining in on the “Guitar Rag.” Vocalist and bassist Linda Lay, guitarist David Lay and harmonicist Phil Wiggins provide accompaniment.
