Nashville Country Guitars - Les And Larry Elgart

I Can't Stop Loving You

Nashville Country Guitars
Les And Larry Elgart
Swampfire Ambassador SF 203

This album is a mystery to me. From the back cover photo and notes you know that Elgart Brothers had something to do with this album… just what involvement they had, Swampfire does not make clear.

From the back cover: "They've (the Elgarts) gathered some of the best guitarists ever assembled in one Nashville recording studio…" and "Yes, Les and Larry Elgart have assembled it all here with the unforgettable sound of the Nashville Country Guitars."

The back cover also advertises two additional Elgart/Nashville albums, "Piano" and "Brass".

This light pop country album features a horn section (no mention if the Elgarts actually play on the album), steel guitar, 70s choral segments… the works. The musicianship is professional, but the arrangements lack cohesion and direction.

If you listen to a lot of "budget" light pop albums and like to hear something "off beat", this Nashville Guitars album may be for you.
