Draper's 1965 album Plays Guitar features the artist in a more subdued, country-inflected mode, a departure from his earlier rockabilly hits. The album showcases his guitar work across a selection of standards and originals.

Rusty Draper was a country and western singer and guitarist from Missouri, best known for his 1950s hits. At the time of Plays Guitar, Draper was nearing the end of his recording career and had moved away from the rockabilly sound that had defined his earlier work.
