The Impressions - Lost Legends Of Surf Guitar - VINYL LP

14 sizzlin' surf guitar cuts recorded at the crest of the genre! Brothers Richard and Thomas Frost, more known for their work as Powder, shred through these surf-rockin' standards - all tucked away until now! Turning in a smoking rendition of studio guitarist Jan Davis' InchThe Fugitive,Inch later covered by the Ventures (and much later, Laika & the Cosmonauts), they also lay down a hot version of InchOpus TwistInch - also by way of the Ventures, written by Tommy Allsup and J.I. Allison of the Crickets. Three other instrumentals came from the Let's Hide Away & Dance Away With Freddy King album InchSan-Ho-Zay,Inch InchJust Pickin',Inch and InchSen-Sa-Shun.Inch He delivers a lovely InchSleep WalkInch sans Santo & Johnny's steel guitar, and converts pianist Floyd Cramer's InchLast DateInch to guitar. Balancing out the program are live tracks from Big Al's Gas House in neighboring Belmont, showing the emergence of British Invasion along with credible renditions of R&B warhorses InchLinda LuInch and InchCome On.Inch InchRoute 66Inch is obviously the Stones version, with Rich playing the Keith Richards guitar solo - Inchand 'Roll Over Beethoven,' you could tell it was the Beatles' version because my guitar licks are George Harrison.Inch Vividly illustrating the band's meld of R&B and surf are the two versions of InchSan-Ho-ZayInch - the relaxed groove in the bedroom versus the furious live rave. Lord knows what's going on in InchThe FightInch - a typical set-opening/closing riff breaking up a brawl?Though they never released even a 45, these live cuts and InchBedroom TapesInch prove without a doubt that they'd have been up to the task had the opportunity presented itself.
