This solo acoustic guitar concept album was professionally filmed in 4K cinematic multi-angle video of the actual studio recordings. Each song is shot/recorded with a different vintage acoustic guitar from Gary’s private rare collection. The instruments featured range from a 1899 Martin 0 Herringbone to Gary’s “main axe” (used over the last 4 decades) a 1941 Martin D28 Herringbone and 7 other significant guitars; All chosen specifically for this particular project entitled “Gary Brewer’s House of Axes”. This is a “getting back to his roots” type feel likened Leo Kottke’s 1969 album “6- and 12-String Guitar”. A very stripped down/pure raw microscopic view of the essence and soul of these vintage instruments; without the blurring accents of other instrumental accompaniments. In our best efforts to capture authentic energy, this album was cut with no overdubs. Each song was captured in the first take. There are 9 songs with the last song being a tribute to Gary’s late Father Finley J. Brewer Jr. “Fin” who we lost in late 2020.
