Happy Traum

RELAX YOUR MIND was recorded in 1975. It was Happy’s first solo album. It is a collection of songs that Happy has been playing for years. Happy explained it like this: “The songs on this album have all been favorites of mine for many years - some for as long as I have been playing guitar. Each one says something that touches me, or tells a story that I enjoy retelling. I have arranged them all in the fingerpicking style, for a unity of feeling and for the sake of those, who want to learn to pick. Most are, not terribly difficult, and if you play a little guitar you should be able to master them with the help of the PDF tab booklet that is on the CD. Hopefully, playing these instrumentals will give you ideas for songs that are special to 'you', and you will use them in your own arrangements”.
