CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description The third album in a series of critically-acclaimed musical adventures between this king of combo guitar and the leading historical band of western swing, Guitars Over Texas is essential for the instrumental pop and country fan and guitar player. Fresh off the heels of their successful stand together at The Mesquite Guitar Festival, Nokie (former lead guitarist of The Ventures) and Grammy winners The Light Crust Doughboys have brilliantly created an album featuring many of the instrumental giants in the pop field while sprinkling the collection with roots country gems such as "The Great Speckled Bird". There's even a rocking guitar-violin version of a Beethoven's Ninth Symphony theme which is destined to become a classic. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsUltimate, Essential Guitar and Instrumental Album Jamie Lee Hanby | Indianapolis, IN USA | 07/24/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is just like waking up on Christmas morning and finding a new Ventures album or a new Stray Cats album or a new Beatles album or a new Tijuana Brass album under your tree. Remember all the excitement generated when you knew your favorite group had a new record out? Well, this release, GUITARS OVER TEXAS, is like the best of the very best, the very best of Ventures guitar (Nokie) mixed with the ultimate roots American band, The Light Crust Doughboys, and its Texas touch. This is like finding out The Tijuana Brass or The Ventures are still issuing new collections of songs for the USA. My whole family, from husband to parents to kids, is mesmerized by this CD and its songs and its arrangements and requests this CD almost every time we take to the road. We have hear beat band magic. We have the very best of combo sounds. We have an incredibly exciting, almost "live" sound on these cuts. Sure to inspire and destined to be played over and over, is this very best of the very best, surf meets Texas swing, GUITARS OVER TEXAS. A five-star record and classic of its genre." Ventures, Johnny Smith, Doughboys Greats Lon McElroy | 11/22/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you've been waiting for fresh, new interpretations of Ventures greatest hits and greatest surf classics, then this is it. The Ventures as Johnny Smith might play 'em! Small combo masterpieces--with piano and little or no rhythm guitar on this album--this approach really lets the lead guitar (often jazzy) of Ventures' icon Nokie Edwards shine through. Expertly produced by Ventures and Doughboys producer-arranger and Light Crust Doughboy Art Greenhaw. Also features classic sounds of Western Swing Group of the century, The Light Crust Doughboys. I think I hear Nokie Edwards here playing his custom Nokie Hitchhiker guitar throughout and also sounds of The Ventures Models and The Light Crust Doughboys Model guitars, banjo and mandolin. This is part of the Grammy Winning Art-Nokie-Doughboys album series, and seek out at all costs some of the rarer offerings in this series like the collector's item Nokie-Art CHRISTMAS IN GUITARLAND and THE BEST OF NOKIE ROOTS MUSIC VOL. 1 and Vol. 2. Essential recordings for your collection by masters of touch and tone.....and a must-have for all fans and players of the guitar."
