Dennis Coffey: Finger Pickin Good 12″ (Indie Exclusive)

Description

Guitar master Dennis Coffeys first LP for Westbound records was released in 1975. It remains a tour de force in funky guitar mastery unlike anything else. While Coffeys guitar fireworks remain squarely at the center of Finger Lickin Good, some of the more psychedelic elements of his earlier work fall away and are replaced by a slicker, more produced sound. This new style clearly lays the groundwork for Coffeys transition, as the 70s progress, into a more commercial, disco-oriented sound on his own recordings as well as on his writing and production work for other artists such as CJ and Co. This long overdue reissue, retitled Finger Pickin Good, was remastered by Dave Gardner and includes a previously unissued bonus track.
