Appalachian Swing! is the second album by the American bluegrass band the Kentucky Colonels and was released on April 20, 1964 on World Pacific Records.[1] Although it failed to chart in America, the album sold reasonably well over the course of the year and became an influential underground classic.[2] A number of critics and authors have commented on how guitarist Clarence White's flatpicking guitar style on the album influenced the development of bluegrass guitar playing.
