Nashville West was one of the first and best pre-Byrds country-rock bands featuring the late, great Clarence White with some truly trailblazing electric guitar playing. Guitar Player magazine proclaimed it one of the top "20 Essential Country " albums of all time. Now with an improved sound quality, this compact disc has four additional unreleased bonus tracks taken from the original live club recording, newly unearth band photos and new comments by country music star Marty Stuart. Clarence is joined by Gene Parsons, drums and vocals Gib Guilbeau, guitar and vocals and Wayne Moore, bass and vocals. The band has been credited with laying "the foundation for the Byrds' country rock phase and the music of Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris and the Eagles"(Guitar Player). Guitar players still marvel at Clarence White's playing.................
