Merle Travis - The Merle Travis Guitar

Review by Sheri Savill

The album, The Merle Travis Guitar, by Merle Travis is a classic piece of American country music. The album features Travis' signature fingerpicking style on the guitar, which he developed in the 1940s and is still admired today. The album consists of 12 tracks, which showcase Travis' versatility and skill on the guitar.

The album's opening track, "Cannonball Rag," is a fast-paced instrumental piece that highlights Travis' fingerpicking technique. "I'll See You in My Dreams" is a slower track that showcases Travis' ability to convey emotion through his playing. "Dark as a Dungeon" is a haunting ballad that features Travis' deep, resonant voice.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sixteen Tons," which became a hit for Travis in 1947. The song is a classic example of Travis' storytelling ability and his ability to capture the struggles of working-class Americans.

I just started learning this tune and it's a bitch to memorize. Might take a while.

He made all of his great music with just his thumb and forefinger. Imagine that...

It took me years to finally find the record. Might take decades to learn to play Travis style though. Hot acoustic picking and he was also a cartoonist too. One of the twentieth centuries and all-time best guitarists when country music actually played instrumentals on radio.

I agree, Louis! What a marvelous musician with an engaging personality. Thank you jdfauser for posting this and hope you do not mind if I record it to play in the car. After all - where could I buy it?!!
