speedy west & jimmy Bryant “frettin fingers”
froM: country cabin jazz, 1960
Pedal Steel Guitarzan, Speedy West
Jimmy Bryant
These two gentlemen set some land speed records with their country carrrying on during the 1950’s. Speedy is rumored to have played on 6000 recordings. In 1960 they create this experiment which displays a fascinating phenomenon in American music: genre-busting, cross pollinating, spontaneous sonic prosody, takin it out! The whole record is here for your eddyvacation and a high speed chase it is. Chasing new forms from the high dive using jumping off points from both traditions. A convincing original.
