03-22-2025

Tommy Emmanuel celebrated the release of his new album "Live At The Sydney Opera House" by sharing a video for "Windy and Warm" that was filmed by Bondi Rocks Media at the Sydney Opera House in his native Australia. SRO sent over these details:

Emmanuel is an acoustic guitarist extraordinaire, composer, global touring artist, and Grammy Award winner. He's also one of five people ever to be named a C.G.P. (Certified Guitar Player) by Chet Atkins, the great innovator, songwriter, producer, record company executive, and visionary.

"'Windy & Warm' was the first song I heard by Chet Atkins, and the very first song I learned in thumb and fingerstyle," says Tommy. "It was the song that everybody wanted to play but had so much trouble trying to play it. It's a timeless classic with elements of blues, jazz, and country fused together into an irresistible cocktail of groove!

"With this recording at The Sydney Opera House, I decided to recut this classic song in a much more traditional style, because I messed with it before making it funky and jazzier, so I took it back home! John D. Loudermilk wrote this song especially for Chet to record."
