The guy is 90 and is already in the Rock N Roll HOF and is now recording his very first rock album, with the help of Peter Frampton, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons and Richie Sambora.

Paul built one of the first prototypes for the solid-body electric guitar in 1941. After repeated rejections, Gibson finally began mass-producing a guitar based on Paul's design in 1952, and the electric guitar went on to become the lead instrument in rock'n' roll.

He also invented multi-track recording. He is a genius, I had some jazz style recordings he has done and I have heard stuff he did with the late Chet Atkins.

I heard that if the album does well. Les Paul will go on tour with those youngsters, the Rolling Stones. :D
