Guitar God
Guitar God is the first album recorded by Randy Holden, after a hiatus from music for two decades. The last album he recorded, prior to his departure from the music world, was Population II, in 1970. The Population II album became a much sought after, difficult to find collector's album, with prices upward of $900. being paid to get one.
Guitar God was recorded in 1993 in a limited release by the artist in 1997 through Captain Trip Records, a Japan-only label. Holden recorded with his former Blue Cheer bandmate, drummer Paul Whaley. Prior to recording Guitar God, Holden and Whaley had not seen or spoken to each other for over two decades.
