LOUIS THE FIRST

The long-awaited re-release of guitar genius Louis Stewart’s 1976 debut as a leader. Beautifully remastered, this edition allows listeners to fully appreciate Louis “on fire” with its improved mix and the bonus track, Wayne Shorter’s Footprints. Louis the First features nine tracks - five trio, one bass-guitar duet, and three solo guitar that point to the magic of his solo masterpiece, Out On His Own (1977). Recorded in Dublin’s Trend Studios, in September 1975, and released in 1976, Louis the First captures the guitarist, who by then was gaining international recognition, at his peak.
