 Classical Gas Feb 29, 2008
This was a gift to my daughter. She asked for it and now that she has it she loves it.

 Gilding the Lily Feb 14, 2008
The old expression 'gilding the lily' has never been more appropo than in this instance. If you love William's fantastic piece, the immortal "Classical Gas", look elsewhere. It's not that Chip Davis & co do a bad version; it's simply that they overwhelm the rich guitar, drowning it in unneccessary musical fripperies. If you like overbearing horns with your music, this is the version for you. Otherwise, look elsewhere--ideally Mason William's own 'Phonograph Album', which contains the original "Classical Gas".
classical gas Jul 03, 2007
it was great alum/cd. Really liked most of the songs.
Classical gas was good, but look for different verison of the song.

Classical Gas, Guitar Masterpiece Mar 28, 2007
I bought this album for "Classical Gas". 1967 the TV show Smothers Brothers was on, Manson Williams was writing for the show, and having been away from his guitar for awhile, he "fueled up", the result was this Masterpiece. If you have never heard it, this is a must. When we heard him play it on the Smothers Brothers, we were stunned! This is a "must" no matter what type of music you are into, I would elevate it to the level of the Brandenburg concerto. This is guitar, you may have heard Flamenco guitar, or any other guitar, but this guitar piece stands alone, classic.

Classical Gas is still a gas Jan 18, 2007
This rendition of this "classic" with Mannheim Steamroller is well done. However, most of the other songs are more Mannheim than Mason Williams. Since I like both, this is not a problem for me, but I wish there had been a little more classical guitar in it.
