2015 collection, the first of two sets dedicated to this music legend and his recorded output with The 50 Guitars Of Tommy Garrett. Tommy was "Snuff" Garrett, A&R director for Liberty from 1958-1966, producer of numerous early '60s hits by white rock 'n' roll artists such as Bobby Vee, Johnny Burnette, and Gary Lewis. Garrett also gave Phil Spector his first job in the business, as A&R man in New York for Liberty. He produced a series of LPs for Liberty under the name of The 50 Guitars of Tommy Garrett, one of the least adventurous and most easy-listening guitar groups, usually arranged by Ernie Wilkins and with Tommy Tedesco as lead guitar. Garrett also produced a number of exotica recordings by The Midnight String Quartet and Jonathan Knight on the Viva! Label.
