The definitive story of this classic heavy metal album from the Classic Albums series.

A tribute to the guitar featuring George Benson, B.B. King, Slash, Steve Lukather, John Scofield, Joe Bonamassa, Robert Cray, Jonny Lang, and Vince Gill. Legendary guitarist Lee Ritenour put together this special project that explores the amazing musical journey of the guitar, which also features Shon Boubil, who won the grand prize of Ritenour’s Yamaha Six String Theory Guitar Competition.
Judy Collins – ‘Paradise’

Her new album features ten heartfelt songs of universal themes and desires of a human being searching for paradise here on earth. Also features Joan Baez and Stephen Stills on two tracks.
Please note: just because I got this information from amazon.com doesn’t mean it’s always accurate; it’s common knowledge that street dates change all the time, due to manufacturing, fulfillment and other factors. I do try to include links to the authoritative source whenever possible, like the artist’s or record label website.
