This is Sierra Records' recent release of "Clarence White: White Lightnin' (SXCD 6030),with an additional special limited edition, mini-two song DVD (playable in all regions) of Clarence performing live on stage and in color, "Truck Stop Girl" and "Take A Whiff On Me"! The CD is a collection of rare, mostly unreleased studio and live recordings, many available for the first time, on compact disc!

Exclusive to Sierra Mail Order customers only, this new release focuses on Clarence electric guitar work though it will contain some bluegrass guitar moments as well.

The highlights include: Clarence's first commercial, major label appearance on the now classic album, "New Dimensions in Banjo and Bluegrass-Weissberg & Brickman" which is current available as "Deliverance-Soundtrack" (CD 465) but always missing the one instrumental, "No Title Yet Blues," whether on LP or CD, featuring Clarence's brilliant lead and rhythm guitar, this track is now heard for the first time on CD.

Recorded live in 1967 at the Nashville West Club in El Monte CA, you will hear Clarence's other country band, a band few, if any, ever heard, let alone saw, "THE ROUSTABOUTS," performing "Buckaroo," "Tango For A Sad Mood" and "Tuff and Stringy" followed by a never before release studio recording of another version of "Tuff and Stringy," all featuring Clarence on electric guitar and a full country band with pedal steel, piano, drums, bass.

From the Byrds era, more rare, unreleased studio tracks including a killer string bender instrumental, "Around the Barn", acoustic version of "Yesterday's Train" and a tune we are calling, "Sally (Goodin) meets the Byrds" and the out of print but now restored instrumental recording, "White's Lightning". Interspersed with these and other rare tracks on this CD is Clarence and his string bending Telecaster ripping off guitar licks as part of his home made practice/instruction tapes.

This mini DVD will not be available commercially and they WILL go fast.
