COMPILATION

The Best of Lee Ritenour selects eight highlights from the records the guitarist made for Epic in the '70s. It's a nice sampler, featuring such songs as "Sun Song," "Little Bit of This Land and a Little Bit of That," "Fly by Night," and "Isn't She Lovely," which give a good sense of what his stint at the label was like. It's not definitive, but it makes for a good sampler for the curious.
