Various artists
Hallmark Guitars Presents: The Kustom Kings Ride Again
(Swept Wing Records)




Not to slight other significant instruments, but the electric guitar figures as the primary Rock'n'Roll device. And its wonderfully multifarious applications are here illustrated. At turns obstreperous, strident, and introspectively melodious --but ever riveting -- the six-string mechanism never ceases to command attention. It orates uniquely.

Recommended: "Chuck's T Bucket" (Ronquillo), "Red Baron Theme" (Deke Dickerson), "Ace Of Aces" (Bob Spalding), "Baron A Go Go" (Wasagas), "Peel Out" (Kobanes), "Snoopy's Revenge" (Hot Rod Trio), "Red Devil" (Green Ghost), "Baron Boogie" (Jay Smith), "Pedal To the Metal" (Joe Walla)
