"How I Spent My Summer Vacation"
(The Sacred Steel Sessions, Vol. 1)
Generally known as an electric guitarist, this is Sterling's first steel guitar album. The music on the CD runs the gamut from straight ahead rock to funk to jazz (a great take on the Charles Mingus classic "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat") to R & B balladry (a unique interpretation of "Jesus, Name Above All Names") to double time gospel (a full speed version of the gospel classic "God Is So Good").
The CD features many guest musicians including Rick Young on harmonica (Duck Soup Blues Band), George Grund (keyboardist extraordinaire), and vocalists Debra Hydock (ex-Chery Crush) and Jennifer Hollister among others.
