Lenny Breau & Brad Terry
The Living Room Tapes, Volume 1
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 1986 Private Label Original. Taped in a farmhouse in Maine during the late seventies and early eighties. Lenny Breau found early inspiration in musicians like Merle Travis and Chet Atkins on traditional fingerpicking style, and later from Bill Evans when it came to harmonics and approach. Breau developed a unique playing style, blending country, classical, jazz, and flamenco - often in the same arrangements. He sought to continue the development of his playing styles by using custom made 7-string guitars. In 1997, he was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. The Berklee College of Music offers a course in his unique style, and he continues to be studied as one of the most innovative and influential guitarist who has ever lived. Randy Bachman considers him his most powerful influence.
