Gary Brewer Gary Brewer's House Of Axes (CD)

(SGM Records) 18 tracks -

On Gary's upcoming solo acoustic guitar concept album, each song was recorded with a different vintage acoustic guitar from Gary's private, very exclusive collection. The instruments range from the Martin 0-1898 Herringbone to Gary's "main guitar" (over the last 4 decades) Martin D28 1941 Herringbone and 7 other significant guitars for this project entitled "Gary Brewer's House Of Axes".

It's a sort of "back to the roots" comparable to Leo Kottke's 1969 album "6- and 12-String Guitar", with a very stripped down/raw microscopic look at the essence and soul of these vintage instruments without the blurring accents of other instrumental accompaniments (in our effort to capture the true energy, this album was recorded without overdubs, and each song was recorded in the first take).

There are 9 songs, with the last song being a moving tribute to Gary's late father Finley Brewer, whom he lost to cancer in late 2020. Each of these songs has a short introduction that briefly tells about the particular guitar and song.
