"Dancehall Stringbusters!" Vol 2 - Crunchy Guitar Instros from the '60s

That Joe Maphis twang, the reverb-soaked magic of Keetie & the Kats-this is wall-to-wall '60s six-string mayhem! Some are famous, some are forgotten, all of 'em are hot! Like the first volume of this series, this assembles 20 tough guitar instrumentals from the first half of the 1960s, throwing in a few recognizable names and unreleased cuts among numbers that are largely taken from some pretty dang obscure singles.A fine continuation from the first volume,these tracks are mainly from the early sixties. This was the era of instrumentals and particularly guitar instrumentals. The names of the groups takes you back to a more innocent age before rock and roll became "serious" and a bit inflated. To be sure,most of these groups were known only in their respective areas-but that doesn't matter one bit. The echo-laden,tremolo sound of the guitar is all you need to send yourself to another time and place. Like the first volume,if you like Link Wray and the sound of primitive guitars loud and in your face,then this is for you! Approximately 46 min. Remastered sound.  (Stuart Jefferson, Shindig)trax:
