Product Description
CD Description
In the twenty first century Rock and Pop instrumentals are no
longer a force on the music charts but there was a time, a brief
golden era, when instros ruled.
The classic Rock and Roll era of the 1950 s and 1960 s brought
to the fore countless instantly recognizable instrumental hits
and many are featured on this groovy little collection.
All the tracks featured on this CD are cover versions of the
original hits but that s not to say they are in any way inferior to
their better known twin brothers and sisters. Quite the
contrary, most of these songs were considered standards and
were recorded time and time again by a host of different
recording artists back in the day.
Tracks such as Pipeline , Wipe Out , Memphis and Telstar
are almost indistinguishable from the original versions and in
some cases are cleaner and edgier than the hits. It s no wonder
as some of the musicians featured here had serious Rock and
Surf credibility, having written and performed on many records
of the genre, including Jan and Dean, Ronnie and The Daytonas
and Gary Lewis & The Playboys among others.
Most of the tracks featuring horns would have been produced by
William Beasley with Boots Randolph playing sax and leading
the band. Boots had a successful recording career as well as
working with everyone from Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison to
Ronnie Hawkins and REO Speedwagon.
This is good crusin music...Good music is timeless!
