He\u2019d always listened to music of every category, and was \nprepared to bring his talent to country music. Within a year, he was a \nfeatured artist on another national radio program, Plantation Party. \nBarnes was featured on the show every week and, through his regular \nappearances on national radio, Chet Atkins \u2014 and a host of other \nguitarists of all genres, including Roy Clark and Bucky Pizzarelli \u2014 \nbecame aware of, and inspired by, the young electric guitarist from \nChicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1957, George recorded COUNTRY JAZZ, his \njazzy version of country-folk classics (and a few originals) that has \nbecome one of his most influential recordings. Young guitarists \u2014 \nparticularly country and rockabilly players who hadn\u2019t yet been born \nwhen George died in 1977 \u2014 are as enthralled by that recording as rock \nguitarists are of anything from Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/georgebarneslegacy.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GBLC-COUNTRY-JAZZMAN-COVER-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/georgebarneslegacy.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GBLC-COUNTRY-JAZZMAN-COVER-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/georgebarneslegacy.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GBLC-COUNTRY-JAZZMAN-COVER-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/georgebarneslegacy.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GBLC-COUNTRY-JAZZMAN-COVER-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/georgebarneslegacy.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GBLC-COUNTRY-JAZZMAN-COVER-768x767.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/georgebarneslegacy.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GBLC-COUNTRY-JAZZMAN-COVER.jpeg 1341w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>GEORGE BARNES: COUNTRY JAZZMAN  is a unique and collectible 8-panel, DVD-sized CD package, featuring  choice airchecks from 18-year-old George on Plantation Party, and every  track from COUNTRY JAZZ, straight from the Barnes Family archives.
