''Guitar Sounds from Lenny Breau'' is an album by Canadian jazz guitarist Lenny Breau, first released in 1968.〔(Lenny Breau Remembered ) by Jim Ferguson.〕 ==History== Breau had befriended Chet Atkins which resulted in Lenny's first two LP issues on RCA. Atkins and Breau also collaborated on ''Standard Brands'' in 1981. Breau was nearly ubiquitous around Atkins' office in Nashville both during and after these two RCA releases and also played clubs regularly.〔McClelland, John & Bratic, Deyan. (2004) "Chet Atkins in Three Dimensions". Pacific, MO, Mel Bay Publications. ISBN 0-7866-5877-0〕 Atkins was instrumental in getting Lenny his first recording contract after hearing one of his (Lenny's) studio tapes. Atkins stated in an interview for ''Frets'' magazine: "Paul Yandell first brought Lenny to my attention around 1966. I immediately knew that here was one of the great players of this world. He had taken some of my fragmentary ideas, and gone on and on into musical areas I had never dreamed of."〔Atkins, Chet. "The Genius of Lenny Breau". ''Frets'' Magazine. July 1986.〕 A wide range of styles are found on this release, from bluegrass to pop and jazz standards to Hank Williams and The Beatles. The songs were recorded during two sessions under the supervision of Atkins. A technical difficulty delayed the release of the album until late winter. Breau was reportedly displeased with the track selection and sequencing, preferring the more straight ahead jazz tunes the trio had recorded versus the pop-flavored material Atkins chose to include.〔Forbes-Robert, Ron.
