He also released instrumental recordings that gave a folk-country-easy listening treatment to country, folk, and pop tunes. Strange's style, with its dextrous, rich, tone, virtuosic picking, and easy-on-the-ear arrangements, has been aptly dubbed "loungeabilly" -- roots music for those who need to ease into (or want to totally avoid) the real thing. True, it's not Bill Monroe or Bela Fleck, but as a guitarist he had an interesting, distinctive flavor. This exquisite piece of retro music history is a vinyl sound recording (not a CD).
