Tuff & Stringy Sessions 1966-68

Former Kentucky Colonel, future Byrd, and a true guitar legend, Clarence White defined the country-rock guitar. He was later famous for the Stringbender in the Byrds, but the playing here, showcased on country/folk-rock sessions from 1966-68 (26 total tracks including super-rare singles, demos and his first recordings as a soloist), demonstrates Clarence's already unique style just prior to the Bender. Note also the inclusion of a recent, major find - previously unknown electrified demos by the Kentucky Colonels that are probably the earliest recordings extant of White playing electric guitar. Features Gary Paxton, The Spencers, Wayne Moore, Sanland Bros., Darrell Cotton, Jack Reeves, Dennis Payne, The Great Love Trip & others.
