A Genuine Rosmini is the second album by American folk guitarist Dick Rosmini, released in 1969. [1]
Rosmini is best known for his role in the American " folk revival" of the 1960s as a session player and accompanist. A Genuine Rosmini was Rosmini's second and last solo album. He recorded only four albums under his own name, two of them instructional albums.
A Genuine Rosmini consists mostly of solos with backing for 6- and 12-string solo guitar, electric guitar. Rosmini sings on "Let's Go Get Stoned".
