Monthly Motivation-Lenny Breau

TK Smith

I’ve been on a Lenny Breau kick lately, listening to his 1961 Hallmark sessions (which he recorded when he was only 20) at least once daily for the last couple of years, and more recently, the 1956 Boy Wonder compilation which he recorded when he was unbelievably only 15!  I don’t like to think about his age at the time of these two sessions because it makes me think I should have taken up something other than guitar playing as a hobby, haha. But, if you can get past that, both CD’s are full of great ideas.

Here’s my favorite off Boy Wonder… Side by Side


And off the Hallmark sessions… Oscar’s Blues
