Available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample. Presented here to share the cover art.

    this album is so cool. FREDDY TAVARES was LEO FENDERS right hand man,he was partially responsible for the FENDER STRATOCASTER. He also was the steel player at the beginning of the LOONY TOONS song.
