Editorial Reviews

Two dozen slabs of torrid twang by one of the greatest and busiest studio musicians of the 1960s and beyond.

Think of any record at all that was made in Los Angeles in the 1960s and there's a fair to definite chance that Jerry Cole played on it (the "Pet Sounds" album being just one of a list of landmark recordings in which Cole participated). When he wasn't in the studio cutting other people's records, or touring as part of the hit instrumental group the Champs, he was busy knocking out groovy instrumental albums, under a plethora of aliases, for Modern's budget Crown label (among others).

"Hot Rod Twangin'" offers a sampling from almost a dozen albums that Cole cut pseudonymously for Crown, and shows that there was no style of music that the man could not comfortably embrace - from the Ventures to Booker T & the MGs, he and his session cronies could do the lot.

Compiled by Texan axeman and general guitar fanatic `Burnin' Mike Vernon and released with the approval and participation of Jerry himself, this is a package that no lover of instrumental 60s rock`n'roll can afford to be without.

4.0 out of 5 stars early 60's hot rod instrumental music, September 24, 2007

This review is from: Hot Rod Twangin' (Audio CD)

Jerry cole was/is a great L.A. session musician, who has played with everybody from The Beach Boys, to Elvis and Frank Sinatra. He also released some albums back in the early 60's on the low-budget L.A. Crown label (which was owned by the Bihari Brothers, who also owned the Modern label). These albums were usually sold in the supermarket in the 99 cent bin, they had pictures of hot rods and custom cars on them, and had names like The Hot Rodders, The Scramblers, The Winners, and The Blasters. This CD features 24 cuts from those old albums, they are all 60's instrumental hot rod music, complete with the sound of engines revving inthe background of the songs. Another good CD to get is Jerry Cole and his Spacemen, which is more surf music oriented.
