One Long Tune The Life And Music of Lenny Breau Hardcover - 2006

by Ron Forbes-Roberts


From the publisher

Mr. Guitar Chet Atkins called Lenny Breau (1941-1984) the greatest guitarist who ever walked the face of the earth. Breau began playing the instrument at age seven, and went on to master many styles, especially jazz. Between 1968 and 1983 he made a series of recordings that are among the most influential guitar albums of the century. Breau's astonishing virtuosity influenced countless performers, but unfortunately it came at the expense of his personal relationships. Despite Breau's fascinating life story and his musical importance, no full-length biography has been published until now. Forbes-Roberts has interviewed more than 175 people and closely analyzed Breau's recordings to reveal an enormously gifted man and the inner workings of his music.

First line

Apart from a bell-bedecked washboard that he strummed in his parents' country band, Lenny Breau's first instrument was a child-sized, secondhand accordion that his father bought for him at a flea market.
