Have Guitar, Will Travel is an album by American country music singer Eddy Arnold. It was released in 1959 by RCA Victor (catalog no. LPM-1928). The album consists of 12 tracks, each referencing a different state or city. [1]
At the time of its release, Roger Thames wrote that Arnold's performance "demonstrates again that he is a few cuts above the average ... this is the kind of song he does best, and he's at his best singing them." [2]
Another reviewer wrote that "Arnold's nasal tones sound so sincere in each song it seems like he's plugging his home state in each one." [3]
The album also received a positive review from Wally George in the Los Angeles Times. George praised Arnold's signing and guitar playing and concluded: "Verdict: Have record, will listen." [4]
AllMusic gave the album a rating of two stars. [5] Reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised Arnold's adaptation of " Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" and found the travel concept cute, but concluded that it is "more interesting as an artifact than an album." [5]
