KIA WINDING - MORE!!!
(theme from Mondo Cane)
Verve Records (Vinyl) 1963 @192kbps

Thanks to Instrumental Music Cafe who uploaded the original

http://www100.zippyshare.com/v/XIYUpXkd/file.html

A strict surf album this is not, despite the packaging and a few titles. More is really the
classic, best-selling album launching Kai Winding's mod sound. Actually, it is Claus Ogerman
and Winding's sound, helped out in no small part by Kenny Burrell on guitar. Except when
obviously imitating standard surf guitar, Burrell provides texture, specifically the "water
sound" popularized by Vinnie Bell. Within this warm bath, as it were, the piercing
electronic ondioline shimmers icily. The rhythm is basic "big beat" rock, and melody never
really has a chance to escape blues figures, which is just as well. "Soul Surfin'" (also the
reissue title of the album) is the longest track at 3:50, and with the others at around the
two minute mark, the whole thing splashes by like a breaker. But just as a quick dip in the
Pacific elicits an appetite, More leaves you hungry for, well, Mondo Cane #2. -- Tony Wilds
(AllMusic)

For Christmas 1963 when I was sixteen years old my Uncle Deane, who had the biggest Jazz
collection imaginable, in order to prove to me, I imagined, just how hip and with the times
he was gave me a bunch of record albums. Among them was Surfer Girl by the Beach Boys,
Shutdown II (a compliation of hot rod songs still available for download,) The Kingston Trio
Live At The Hungry I (also available for download,) a record in stereo of a live Grand Prix
race, and More!!! by Kai Winding. I can't remember what my parents gave me that year but
I'll never forget what I got from my Uncle Deane.
Somehow along the way over the past 50 years I have lost More!!! but when I saw it available
I immediately downloaded it and I now present it here. In 1963 the song More was a major AM
Radio hit in San Diego. However I liked the rest of the album as well as I like the title
song. It was surf music but in a brassy, jazzy sort of way that I had never heard before.
To me today it is still surf music, but it is also a great jazzy Lounge record.
If this album leaves Tony Wilds hungry for Mondo Cane #2 it leaves me hungry for, well,
more.
It is ripped at 192kbps but, as I said, it is not my rip. Sounds great to me!

Eilen Jewell is an American singer songwriter currently based in Boston. Her music is a mixture of Americana Blues, Country, Folk, Rockabilly, and Gospel that she has acquired from extensive travelling around the U.S.A. There is some excellent fiddle, horns, harmonica and stand-up bass on this disc and her voice is stellar. There is some excellent playin here and Eilen's voice well at least blows me away. This is a must have if Early Americana that's new is your preference.

The Spaniels were an American R&B Doo Wop group best known for the hit "Goodnite Sweetheart Goodnite".
They have been called the first successful Midwestern R&B group. Some historians of vocal groups consider Pookie Hudson to be the first true leader of a vocal group because the Spaniels pioneered the technique of having the main singer solo at his own microphone, while the rest of the group shared a second microphone.
