Think Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass or perhaps Buck Owens's Bakersfield Brass. That's basically the sound of the anonymous group of musicians who make up The Magnificent 7. This budget label LP may even predate those mid- to late-1960s groups, with one source giving the date of release as 1961.
Listening to Country & Western Love Songs, however, leads me to believe that this album likely dates from the middle of the decade. Guitars and brass share the lead throughout. Listen to what The Magnificent 7 do with Ernest Tubb's Walking the Floor Over You.
Walking the Floor Over You
There was at least one other release under The Magnificent 7 moniker, Country & Western Million Sellers, again on the low-budget Power label. Both are worth picking up (think thrift store) for fans of country guitar.
None of this material has appeared in a digital format.
