The Boston Public Library has digitized its LP collection. There's a lot of bad mid-Century easy listening drek but also lots of terrific music if you have the patience to dig ... like Hi-Fi Guitar, one of Jerry Byrd's best LPs. Enjoy!

Thanks Andy, I wonder whatever became of that particular 7 string Ric?

This is definitely after JB had kind of cemented his sound, for sure...I've heard some of his earlier 40s stuff where you can hear a hint of his sound, but at this point that's just undeniably JB.
Come a Little Closer, is that his C diatonic? Those don't sound like C6 type chords...
Thanks for pointing us to this!

There are moments in this record were I go, "Yep, that's a Bakelite Rickenbacher," but I suppose JB could get that tone elsewhere.

Yes, Come a Little Closer is in C Diatonic. I transcribed it a few years ago. It was a bear to figure out and Guy Cundell was a big help.
Definitely JBs distinctive Bakelite tone (Volu-Tone amp?) was at his peak here and I would argue his tone was never surpassed by later guitars and amps he used.
