City Guy Plays Country - Al Caiola

Ring Of Fire
City Guy Plays Country
Al Caiola
United Artists Records UAS 6255
1963

From the back cover: Fulfilling a long-time ambition, Al recently held a three-day session at famed Bradley Studios in Nashville, cutting some of his all-time favorite country tunes. Accompanied by members of The Jordonaires, and backed by the top country side-men in the business, Al recorded thirteen of the greatest country tunes of the last two decades.

From November 23, 1963 Billboard: Caiola is back with a fine album of guitar picking'. The set features the soloist in varying moods, but playing country material throughout, and for the most part, playing in a country vein. The album is filled with the great country tunes of the past and present and the guitarist is often showcased in front of a fine string ensemble.
