nChet Atkins called Lenny Breau (1941-1984) the greatest guitarist who ever walked the face of the earth. Breaus astonishing virtuosity influenced countless performers, but unfortunately it came at the expense of his personal relationships. Forbes-Roberts analyzes Breau and his recordings to reveal an enormously gifted man and the inner workings of his music. [A] thorough and fascinating biography, which includes a discography and analysis of Breaus recordings.-Toronto Globe and Mail Forbes-Roberts does a credible job of depicting the variables that fostered Breaus total devotion to his instrument and subsequent descent into heroin addiction.
