Like his contemporaries Grady Martin in Nashville and Joe Maphis in Los Angeles, ace guitarist "Fuzzy" Hal Harris carved a deep and distinctive musical signature across hundreds of recording sessions in his adopted home of Houston between 1953 and 1963 and, like them, his idiosyncratic style spawned dozens of young disciples in the local talent pool. Like Scotty Moore in Memphis, too, Hal"s age and experience made him the perfect interim manager for budding stars like George Jones and Sleepy La Beef, but as he took on such tasks his own career invariably suffered. This first-time compilation of the finest work of this unsung guitar picker contains all the 1950s recordings issued under his own name as well as a sparkling selection of his session work from those years; from his debut featured spot as one of Curley Williams" Georgia Peach Pickers through his career as houseband-leader and guitarist-of-choice for Pappy Daily"s stable of labels - Starday, Dixie and D Records - and his renaissance during the 1970s/1980s rockabilly revival when his exciting solos on those cherished records by Joe Clay, Thumper Jones, Sleepy La Beef, Link Davis, Rock Rogers and Bob Doss were a clarion call to pack the dance floors all over again...
