[excerpt from CD liner notes]:
"A string-bending steel guitar romp through a set of 12 Speedy West-penned originals aided by famed L.A. studio cats like Billy Strange and Earl Palmer. "Guitar Spectacular" showcases West’s breathtaking finger-speed and uncanny knack for always playing just the right thing. From dreamy sunset-on-the-desert-style numbers to dazzling Wild West swingers, "Guitar Spectacular" represents the final two words in steel guitar: Speedy West." -- Rich Kienzle, Country Music historian 2005
