The Title of the Cd is "The Best of Earl Erb on a Telecaster". For all of you who think a Telecaster is supposed to twang, you should hear this. This is the sweetest and most mellow tone I have ever heard on any solid body guitar. Earl's Playing Skills are superb, his touch and tone are terrific. If any of you have ever typecast Earl as a Country Guitar Player, you are in for a shock. Earl is a Master Guitarist in every respect and he scares the living hell out of me. Monster Picker in every sense of the word. I find it impossible to pick any favorites on this CD, They are all Outstanding.

Earl has included The following cuts on his CD.
#1 All The Things You Are
#2 Both Sides Now
#3 Fire and Rain
#4 Rainy Day- The Shadow of Your Smile
#5 Going Home
#6 Shennandoah
#7 Steel Guitar Rag
#8 Tell Me Now
#9 Tenderly
#10 The Way We Were
#11 Touching Angels
#12 Way Faring Stranger
#13 You needed Me

Earl
I hope this Post hasn't damaged your career in any way.

Listening to Earl's CD (I have received 3 cuts by email previously) has motivated me to drop my Bass for the time being and get back in the saddle so to speak after 29 years laying off guitar, I'm serious about it this time and being 60 years old, want to whip this thing before its too late. I'm coming along much faster than I ever expected, most of it due to Earls inspiration and friendship. I know that Earl has been inspired by your musicianship and talent and so am I. I just finished my third gig as a guitar player last Saturday night after 3 months of woodshedding for 3 - 4 hours a day, I made the decision to start about the time I received the first cut from Earls CD by email, Coincidence, Not really.

BTW
Folks, Curly Chalker was so impressed by Earl that he reccommended him for a job with Roger Miller back in the 70's to replace Thumbs. That is saying a lot to impress Ol Curls, He like, Gregg was very discriminating. Problem was Roger didn't listen very well back then .

Nobody would believe this is a Telecaster by listening, just goes to prove that the "Tele" is Americas Guitar.

I'm surprised no one else has asked, given the constant talk around here about pickers not getting recognition, SO, who is on the CD with you, Earl?

Regards,
Bill Cunningham

I suggest that you bring several copies to the NTSGA meeting in May because I'm sure other members besides myself are anxious to have a copy of the new CD.

Regards
