"The Merle Travis Guitar" was the first solo guitar album by Merle Travis, recorded in 1955 when Travis was at the peak of his performing abilities and released on January 1, 1956. Together with another Capitol release of the previous year, "Back Home", it introduced the style of guitar playing that came to be known as Travis picking to a wide public of guitarists and roots music enthusiasts. The album contains a selection of traditional guitar pickers' tunes from Travis' native Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, and includes old standards, blues and rags.
