Synopsis

Album Description
An unheralded master of cool ?60s instrumentals, Jan Davis straddled the worlds of the Ventures, the Rockin? Rebels and the Shadows like a guitar-wielding superhero. Problem was, none of Davis? eye-popping singles dented the national sales charts, so we?re here to right that wrong with 20 of his most powerful tunes! From the bloodcurdling scream that sucks you into "The Time Funnel" to the mystical swamp gibberish of "Watusi Zombie" or the baying bloodhounds on "Fugitive," we think it?s high time the rest of the world tune in to the sparkling guitar-universe of Jan Davis!
 

CD Reviews

Wicked!
D. Silvia | South Dartmouth, MA USA | 06/22/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Take it from the screaming witch doctor in Watusi Zombie, this is the album for you. This CD will suck you back to 1962. It is not top forty stuff and certainly not anything you would ever hear on an oldies radio station. However, if you like cool guitar instrumentals, you'll like this. In addition to the instrumentals, Guitar Star is the one song with vocals on the CD (no offense to the witch doctor!). It's probably the craziest album you've ever bought but, damn it is fun."

"If you like the music of the Ventures, Shadows, Jerry Cole, or Dick Dale, you will like this CD. Guitar instrumentals from the early 60's, none of which ever dented the charts but are good nevertheless."
