Archtop

A mix of reverence and adventure. An intimate and demanding solo guitar outing by Ratko Zjaca. 8 standard 2 originals. Each song played on a different legendary instrument.

Bob Margolin gives THANKS to celebrate 50 years since he joined Muddy Waters Band. He plays the same Gibson archtop electric guitar that he played next to Muddy and The Band in The Last Waltz on every song here. He recorded one song by Muddy from 1952 and one that he and Muddy wrote together in 1977. He sings The Shape I’m In by The Band as a Blues with 4-part harmony.”

The Guitar Trio of Bucky Pizzarelli, Ed Laub & Walt Bibinger recorded Live at the Deer Head Inn. Bucky Pizzarelli, Ed Laub and Walt Bibinger first came together at the suggestion of Dale Unger (American Archtop guitar builder). Finding an immediate rapport, the guitar trio have continued to perform together in venues across the tri-state area (NJ, PA, NY). Their appearances at the venerable Deer Head Inn, lead to this great recording.
