GRAMMY-winning guitarist Tommy Emmanuel has released the 20th Anniversary Remastered edition of his 2006 album, The Mystery.
Available digitally and on vinyl for the first time, the new edition includes three live bonus tracks: “What a Wonderful World,” “The Diggers’ Waltz” and “Keep It Simple.” Emmanuel also released a video for “Keep It Simple,” recorded in October 2025 at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville before an audience of fans attending Tommy Emmanuel’s Guitar Camp USA.

“I’m excited for people to rediscover some of my earlier songs and hear them in all their purity, not road-honed or beaten up by too many shows, just to be heard as the composer intended,” Emmanuel says. “I hope you get a fresh look at my songs with this reissue on vinyl.”
The original album includes “Gameshow Rag/Cannonball Rag,” which earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Instrumental Performance, along with Emmanuel’s “Lewis & Clark” and an instrumental arrangement of Billy Joel’s “And So It Goes.”
