Album Notes

Take a bunch of old vintage Harmony guitars and match it with dynamic imagination and a passion for writing guitar music and what do you get?

The award winning "Pickin' On Harmony", named Instrumental Album of The Year by the G.P.E.A.

The song "Mississippi Mud Dog" is included in a new BBC film "The Natural World-Mississippi" to be aired in the UK and on the Discovery Channel in the USA.

"Pickin' On Harmony" is a fantastic collection of 12 great songs that feature a wide variety of styles. Everything from old school Surf instrumentals, Blues, Rock, Country to Adult Contemporary styles are on this album.

This is truely a unique concept album, and it has sold very well. All of the feedback has been positive. The most common comment we get is "I have a different favorite song (from Pickin' On Harmony) every time I listen to this album".

That is understandable because there is a song for almost any mood and popular music style on this CD.

It is a project recorded entirely with vintage instruments. The CD has a warm "real" sound, we get lots of comments from fellow pickers on how much they appreciate the overall tone on this album.

Another unique feature is an extensive "audio liner" track that fully explains the album as well as well as letting the listener know what gear was used on each song!

The Calhouns have been touring professionally since 1979. They play all over North America and perform 250+ shows per year. They invite you to visit their website at http://www.broadwaymusicco.com/calhouns.htm

Their instrumental album "Pickin'On Harmony" is a great collection of songs, written by The Calhouns.

Jim Calhoun is the author and web master of the most popular Harmony guitar site in the world, this album is an extension of that popular web site. They invite you to visit the Harmony website at http://www.broadwaymusicco.com/Harmony.htm

All songs were recorded using only vintage Harmony instruments, some as old as 1936.

This is my latest favorite guitar album. Great sound! Thanks guys both CDbaby and the Calhouns. I have played a H77 Cherry Red double cut away triple pickup since I bought it in 1963 from Harmony. I still love it!! Great music guys not only for the working man.
