5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Guitar Instrumental CD, December 19, 2001

By 

Bryan Jeppson (No Brunswick, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Twang: Tribute to the Shadows (Audio CD)

First, let me be candid. I've not really familiar with the originals that have been remade on this CD. Although I'd heard of the Shadows, I picked this up on an impulse when I saw the guitarists featured on it. If you're a Hank Marvin purist devotee, this may not be the most helpful review; but if you're someone who appreciates guitar solos with a bit more taste than the typical shredder b.s., this is a fantastic CD. Knopfler and Blackmore are particularly good here, as is Hank Marvin himself. Actually, there isn't a bad song on this compilation (a rare thing to say about any tribute album). It's not the kind ultra frenetic guitar slinging that leads to so many speeding tickets; rather it's more like the perfect background music for work or kicking back at the end of the day with the headphones on. Gutsy, melodic, and soulful stuff for anybody who digs the sound of a strat guitar

2.0 out of 5 stars A mixed blessing, September 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Twang: Tribute to the Shadows (Audio CD)

The only thing the tracks on this instrumental cd have in common is that they were all recorded by the Shadows at one time or another. Apart from two or three tracks (inlcuding the one by former Shadow, Hank Marvin), none of these recordings bears any resemblance to the Shadows sound and some seem distinctly half-hearted. The tracks do, though, present a wide variety of guitar styles including acoustic and electric.
