Whip Masters Instrumental Vol.1

Description

Stylized Instrumentals, fast-paced, evocative and lashed with tension - Atomicat's new sampler series "Whip Masters Instrumentals" combines wild Rock'n'Roll and Rockabilly guitar firecrackers, elegant Western Swing, Surf tunes and swinging Rhythm'n'Blues - without vocals. Instrumental Rock'n'Roll, usually with a concise twanging guitar (such as introduced by Duane Eddy or Link Wray) but also with saxophone as lead melody instrument, emancipated itself at the end of the 50s - creating its own genre with charts successes, and bringing world-famous protagonists like The Shadows or The Ventures to the world's attention. The 'Pulp Fiction effect' put Dick Dale & The Del-Tones back in the worldwide spotlight in the early 90s with their iconic breathless sixteenth staccato version of the original motif 'Misirlou' in Tarrantino's classic film. Gathered here are 30 songs by acts such as The Whips, The Champs, Chuck Alaimo Quartet, Hank Moore And Orchestra, The Tradewinds, Bill Haley and His Comets with Frank Beecher, The Flee-Rekkers, Ronnie Ray and The Playboys or The Frantics, and even the Slovenian graphic artist Urban Zotel, responsible for the serial artwork of the sampler, shines here with "Blastin' Off" on guitar. A real feast for instro-maniacs!
