Search - Tom Tomlinson And Jerry Kennedy :: Guitar's Greatest Hits Vols 1 & 2 [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED]

Meet Tom & Jerry, no not early Simon & Garfunkel recordings, or the cartoon cat & mouse, but two widely respected Country session guitarists. Tom Tomlinson had worked on the Louisiana Hayride in the early 1950s and carved out a reputation as a hot session guitarist, before joining Johnny Horton's band, he played on all of Horton's hits. Jerry Kennedy had been a successful 13 year old Rockabilly singer 'Jerry Glenn', before also joining the Louisiana Hayride house band, eventually becoming a Nashville 'A' Team regular at the age of just seventeen. They teamed up in 1961 to cut the 'Guitar's Greatest Hits' LP, and recorded 'Guitar's Greatest Hit's Vol. 2' the following year. On these LPs they were backed by the full Nashville 'A' Team: Hank Garland (gtr), Harold Bradley (gtr), Kelso Herston (gtr), Floyd Cramer (piano), Bob Moore (bass), Buddy Harman (drums) and Boots Randolph (sax). These LPs are serious collector's items, almost unfeasibly rare, and appeal equally to both instrumental and C&W aficionados. This re-issue marks the first time these albums have ever appeared on CD.
