• Two Classic Out-of-Print Emory Lester Recordings Re-Released Digital

    Emory Lester

    ONTARIO, CANADA — Two classic and sought after instrumental recordings from Emory Lester, long out-of-print and too often difficult to find, have been re-released and are now available on many digital platforms.

    Pale Rider from 1993 and Cruisin' the 8 from 2002, previously available only on CD are now widely available to a great audience.

    About the release Emory Lester told us, "These have been a long time coming and I'm really pleased to make them available to a lot of young mandolin players who never had the opportunity to hear them, and to plenty of folks that have but have maybe moved on from CDs."

      Excited to have these available via streaming-- some really great tunes that have been very hard to find.
