(1969)

A Genuine Rosmini is the second album by American folk guitarist Dick Rosmini, released in 1969.

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". The album exhibits the contemporary shift away from 'pure' early 60s folk to a hybrid style incorporating electric instruments and well-known popular songs.
