Music reviews of The Best of the Capitol Masters: 90th Birthday EditionMusic Review: One of the best guitarists of all time
Before there was Jimmie Hendrix, or Van Halen, or Santana, there was Les Paul. Most people only think of the guitar when they hear his name, and most Les Paul owners probably never knew he was one of the most successful guitarists of the early 50s with several top billboard hits. Les Paul started recording during the mid 40s and most of his big songs were recorded during his golden years in the 50s, and even a few 60s songs. Les Paul was one of the biggest pioneers in music, and you can tell when you listen to these songs that use multitrack-recording and close milking when his wife, Mary Ford would sing with him. He used multitracking to make it sound like many guitars were playing in harmony at once, but he played every single part and recorded them individually, and when he put them together, it sounded like their were various guitar players at once. Most of his early songs use this technology, and it is still used today. During the 40s were mainly experimental years for Les, as you can hear in songs like In the Mood, and Nola. He would experiment with his multitracking and guitars he built from wood. Then after he married Mary Ford, he became much bigger and the duet recorded many hit songs from Mockingbird Hill, to How High the Moon, to Vaya Con Dios which all hit in the billboard top 10.
