BRAD PAISLEY
“PLAY: THE GUITAR ALBUM”
ARISTA / SONY (Aust) 88697-26908-2 HUCKLEBERRY JAM / TURF‟S UP / START A BAND

WAITIN‟ ON A WOMAN (With ANDY GRIFFITH)
I must say that I didn‟t know too much about
this guy (thought he was a guitar-slingin‟ Nashville dude
with the white cowboy hat) – but, boy, can he play! This
2
is a real “Teleganza” – the guests on “Cluster Pluck” are
James Burton, Vince Gill, Albert Lee, John Jorgensen,
Brent Mason, Redd Volkaert and Steve Wariner – „nuff
said!! Only 5 vocals (all good, with a variety of guitar
sounds) and a wide variety of country rock / surf / rock /
jazz and other styles make this a great album! Support
from steel, banjo, acoustic and other guitars contribute.
Brad has made 7 other albums – “Who Needs Pictures”
(1999), Part II (2001), “Mud On The Tires” (2003),
“Time Well Wasted” (2005), “Christmas” (2006), “5th
Gear” (2007) and “American Saturday Night” (2009) – if
they‟re half as good as this, worth tracking down!
MARK KNOPFLER
“GET LUCKY” VERTIGO (Aust) 2708674
BORDER REIVER / HARD SHOULDER / YOU CAN‟T
BEAT THE HOUSE / BEFORE GAS AND TV /
MONTELEONE / CLEANING MY GUN / THE CAR WAS
THE ONE / REMEMBRANCE DAY / GET LUCKY / SO
FAR FROM THE CLYDE / PIPER TO THE END
This is an ALL VOCAL CD (I know, this is an
Instrumental newsletter!) but Mark is a fantastic guitar
player, with a unique style. This album is t reflective,
sombre, and delicate, with shades of the “Local Hero”
soundtrack – one of the true “classics”. There‟s a touch
of that Celtic feel from the film, but overall, lots of that
special Knopfler guitar. I love it!
LOS JETS
“300 WAVES (ROCK THE PIER) (SOUNDTRACK
FROM THE FILM)”
H.M.R. (Spain) H.M.R. 078 TAKE FIVE / GONZALES / SPLASH / SURF SAMBA /
VENUS / BUDA‟S TAVERN / WAITING FOR THE TRAIN /
JEZABEL / THE FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLE BEE /
BOMBORA / SO WHAT / CHARIOT / BOHABDILL / THE
VALIANT / VOYAGE AROUND THE MOON / HUSKY
TEAM / DRIFTIN‟ / DIAMONDS
There is also a DVD available, with footage of
surfing, waves and such. This is essentially the
soundtrack, and follows the recent penchant for releasing
compilations of previously issued material. These tracks
are culled from various Los Jets albums, and are highly
recommended, especially if you don‟t have the „source‟
albums.
TOM PRINCIPATO & PETE KENNEDY
“FINGERS ON FIRE”
POWERHOUSE (US) POW-113 OPUS ONE / THE KANGAROO / HERE, THERE, AND
EVEYWHERE / AIN‟T MISBEHAVIN‟ / SOUTH /
BROADWAY / IT DON‟T MEAN A THING (IF IT AIN‟T
GOT THAT SWING) / ECHO BOOGIE / STEALIN‟ CORN /
HONEYSUCKLE ROSE / SLIPPED DISC / TOM‟S TUNE /
THE FLINTSTONES THEME
This is another great “find” – I‟d heard of
Principato before (his “Blazing Telecasters” CD with
Danny Gatton was one of my favourites) but not heard of
Kennedy before. This is a guitar album, through and
through. Lots of western swing, jazz, Travis / Atkins
pickin‟ – all tastefully done. From the jazzy reading of Sy
Oliver‟s “Opus One” to “The Flintstones Theme”, this a
hoot! Tracks 6-13 were recorded live at The Cellar Door,
Washington D.C. on 30 December 1978 – wish I‟d been
there! But wait, there‟s more – at the end of the CD
there‟s a promo for Ibanez Guitars at “Giant Music”!
THE VENTURES & THE (FABULOUS) WAILERS
“TWO CAR GARAGE”
BLUE HORIZON (US) BH 100-1 I HEAR YOU KNOCKIN‟ KEEP A KNOCKIN‟ / SURF
RIDER (aka SPUDNICK) / REBEL-ROUSER / WAILIN‟ /

AND PINS / BEAT GUITAR / DIRTY ROBBER / WILD
WEEKEND / CALIFORNIA SUN / TALL COOL ONE /
WHEN YOU WALK IN THE ROOM / WIPE OUT / ROAD
RUNNER / BLACK IS BLACK / LOUIE LOUIE
A slightly unusual release, and hard to get, for
some reason. Most of the tracks are Ventures / Wailers
standards, some by the Ventures, some by the Wailers,
and a few with members of both groups. About half of
the tracks are vocals(!) and saxophone features
prominently (which won‟t please all) but this is good
departure from the norm. On the Ventures side, Bob
Bogle, Gerry, Nokie, Bob Spaulding (as it‟s spelt in the
sleeve notes) and Don all take turns on lead guitar, and
do a good job. I thought the Wailers tracks („Wailin‟,
„Tall Cool One‟ and „Road Runner‟ (all covered by the
Ventures) may be done by both groups, but these are new
versions by the Wailers. A good one.

As usual, sound quality varies considerably, as all are

some rare and desirable tracks, many making their CD
debut. As I‟ve said before – “essential purchases”.

With STANLEY TURRENTINE
Winding is (was?) a trombonist – but don‟t let
that put you off. His hit “More (Theme From „Mondo
Cane‟) was followed by an album, which was essentially
a „jazz goes surf‟ album. The whole album is included
here, with bonus tracks. Kenny Burrell contributes fine
guitar, so this is really a Kenny Burrell album! Jean
Jacques Perrey plays the ondioline (look that up in your
Funk „n‟ Wagnell) and the CD is filled out with a couple
of organist Jimmy Smith tracks and some solo Burrell‟s
too. All tracks from the Verve and Cadet labels. Great
