· In the 1960s, the late Jerry Cole was one of America's
most prolific guitarists, turning his hand to surf music,
rock, country, jazz and blues and playing on sessions
for Brian Wilson, Phil Spector and countless others. He
would replace less proficient group members at
recordings, often anonymously.
· Cole made several low-budget-but very technically
proficient albums for the Modern label’s Crown
imprint. This is our second helping from these sources –
following the 2006 release of “Hot Rod Twangin’”.
· The golden age of guitar-driven rock’n’roll
instrumentals lasted from 1957 to around 1967. In
order to satisfy the public’s newly-found fascination
with the electric guitar, countless guitar-oriented
records were released during the era and the now
often-overlooked genre exploded with a blast of sounds
and rhythms never heard before that time.
· Without uttering a word, these magnificent and
sometimes quirky guitar instros captured and conveyed
the excitement and mystery of the space age, surfing,
spying, hot rods, gang fights, beatniks, love, drinking,
the wild west, exotic locations, food, superheroes,
moods, dance crazes, weather, local colour and
tripping on acid. And it was usually accomplished in
under three minutes.
