Les Paul Artist Snapshot:

A studio pioneer and arguably the most innovative musician of his generation, Waukesha, Wisconsin, native Les Paul created the solid-body guitar that bears his name. He was also a pioneer in the creation of multi-track recording and effects units. As a guitarist, he was an original jazz stylist who incorporated elements of blues, pop, and country. He started out recording with his own trio, but in the early 1950s, the records he made with his wife, Mary Ford, where she overdubbed several tracks of harmonized vocals, became huge pop hits. Enormously influential through both his musical and technological achievements, Paul continued to perform right up to his death in 2009 at age 95.

Title Note

2 LPs on 1 CD: THE NEW SOUND (1950)/THE NEW SOUND VOLUME II (1950).

Originally released on Capitol.

Both the NEW SOUND and THE NEW SOUND VOLUME II, recorded in 1950 and 1951, respectively, and brought together here in one set, are billed as releases by Mary Ford and Les Paul. Ford takes something of a backseat on these dates, however, as most are given over to Paul's innovative, multi-tracked instrumentals. In fact, Ford is entirely absent from THE NEW SOUND, which concentrates instead on Paul's experiments with layered guitar sounds and sped-up tape speeds.

Ford does sing on THE NEW SOUND VOLUME II, and her presence is welcome, piling additional charm onto Paul's already charming guitar pop-scapes. Though their most popular songs as a duo were yet to come, these early collaborations contain the seeds of the sound that would bring them success.
