“Swingin' on a Seven-String" was recorded on August 12th & 25th in 1982 and originally released in 1984 as “When Lightn' Strikes" on LP. In addition to being the last studio album that Lenny Breau recorded before his untimely death in 1984, “Swingin on a Seven-String" also remains as the only studio recordings of his seven-string acoustic guitar playing. In addition to the five tracks featuring Lenny and acoustic bassist Jim Ferguson performing duets, Lenny is joined by pedal steel guitar legend Buddy Emmons and drummer Kenny Malone on the remaining quartet tracks. Eight of the eleven tracks feature Lenny on seven-string acoustic guitar, while the other three tracks feature Lenny on six-string electric guitar. All tracks have been digitally remastered from the original analog master tapes using 24-bit digital technology. The CD also features one previously unreleased bonus track, “Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain". The 12-page booklet includes extensive liner notes by author Ron Forbes-Roberts as well as commentary from Buddy Emmons and Jim Ferguson.
