Doyley and the Twanglords
Twang Solo
Return ofthe Twangi
(Diablo Records)

.

Philip Doyle excels at novel instrumental craft; one is as likely to thrill to a mischievous surfers-beach air or leathery Link Wray reference as zoom aloft along uncharted spaceways, battling all manner of sinister and comically odd creatures. These discs surely are alone in combining Hang Ten exhortations with affectionate tips to Gene Roddenberry, Irwin Allen, and Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.

Many laud Doyley's hyper-torrential psycho toil with the Guitar Slingers and Demented Are Go. But any who've thusfar missed his equally astounding sci fi-surf expressions have now the happy opportunity for rectification.
