Album Notes

NICK LUCAS--25 original mono recordings from 1923-39. Around 1917 Nick Lucas and Ted Fio Rito formed a group called "The Kentucky Five" which appeared successfully in Vaudeville and then Nick Lucas worked with Vincent Lopez in New York City for several months before joining the Vernon County Club Orchestra as a banjo and guitar player. The groups New York debut was sponsored by Paul Whiteman and it was with the Vernon Country Club Orchestra Nick Lucas began his recording career as a sideman in 1921. The next year, 1922, he and his brother Frank recorded for Pathe Actuelle as the Lucas Novelty Quartet and the Lucas Ukulele Trio and that year Nick recorded for Pathe the first guitar solo record ever made, his compositions "Pickin' The Guitar" and "Teasin' The Frets". His work as a guitar player would influence musicians for decades to come, including Gene Autry, Doc Watson, Joe Pass and Les Paul.
