Celebrated country guitarist and songwriter Merle Travis is captured in a series of rare live performances in this release that offers footage spanning from 1946 to 1981. Beginning with footage taken from Travis post-war performances on the West Coast and following through to the days when nostalgia provided his career with a second wind in the late 1970s, this video presents the influential guitarist in numerous solo settings in addition to late-career performances of "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans" and "Backwater Blues" with his son Thom Bresh. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
