• Lyhyt kuvaus 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 withoots 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!
