Thom Bresh In Concert

Thom Bresh's "The Real Merle Travis Guitar" has been one of Homespun's best-sellers for several years, so we were delighted when he agreed to perform live for our cameras. The result is a look at a consummate entertainer and powerful guitarist in concert. Playing some of his favorite instruments -- his handmade Unity Guitar (a copy of Merle Travis's famous Gibson Super 400 Special); his "beautiful redhead" Godin Multi-Axe; his Harvey Leach "Bresh Spirit" copy of the Travis Martin with the Bigsby neck; and his unique Del Langyans back-to-back guitars (steel string on one side, nylon on the other), Thom performs one of his typically up-beat and musically exciting shows. <P>This performance DVD will enlighten as well as entertain, as Thom plays songs and instrumentals highlighting his superb country fingerpicking. In addition to his originals, he plays a tune by Chet Atkins, a Jerry Reed medley, a tribute to his friend, the late Marcel Dadi, and a set of classics by his legendary father, Merle Travis. Finally, Thom's pickin' buddy Buster B. Jones joins him for some finger-bustin' duets. <P>Songs include "Sidewalks of Bordeaux," "Mr. Guitar My Friend," "Roll On Buddy," "Dark As A Dungeon," "Smoke That Cigarette," "Sixteen Tons," "Amos Moses," "Guitar in the Window," "Guitar Rag," "Happy Again," "Walking The Strings," "La Marcelaise" and others.
