Description
Atomicat Records (ACCD 142) present a value for money thirty-two song album Byrd's The Word (with a supporting cast), which is a tribute to Jerry Byrd as a performer and studio musician.The album is embellished with sleeve notes, has a detailed session information, and is lovingly designed by artist Urban Zotel. Jerry Byrd was born on the 9th of March 1920, and his instrument of choice was the steel guitar, although he also played bass and sang harmony vocals on some recordings. Musically Jerry Byrd's first love was the Hawaiian steel guitar music and in this style he was a perfectionist and to quote Guitar Player magazine Jerry Byrd is the standard by which all steel guitarists must be measured. Jerry Byrd led The String Dusters from 1949 to 1955, and during this time-frame they recorded for Mercury Records. Of the eleven featured Mercury tracks ten are instrumental, and these are inter-spaced between vocal performances in the running order to vary the aural appeal.Therefore the album is not in a chronological order.
