At the time when I was still thrashing around on the acoustic guitar trying to sound like Leadbelly or Jesse Fuller, there was someone who had already achieved this particular goal. That was Hank B. Marvin of the Shadows. He had found, and settled on, a clean, pure sound, which disallowed any kind of hand-fisted playing. Only the lightest touch was permitted. The result was a marvelous mixture of clear, sweet melody over a strong rock beat (and what a great drum sound). On top of all this, he looked like Buddy Holly and played a real Stratocaster! Unbeatable… My own playing has gone through many changes and a great deal of ups and downs over the years, and therefore it never ceased to amaze me that Hank managed to arrive exactly where he wanted, and then stayed there. As for the Shadows, all in all they always seemed to me to be the ideal rock band…They have lasted for more than four decades, their music lasts forever. Hats off to Hank and the boys…. -Eric Clapton” Track List: 01 - Equinoxe (Part V) 02 - The Third Man 03 - No Dancing 04 - Memory (From Cats) 05 - Chi Mai 06 - Africa 07 - Thing-Me-Jig 08 - The Theme From Missing 09 - Mozart Forte 10 - If You Leave Me Now 11 - Summer Love 12 - Hello Mr. W.A.M. 13 - Queen Of Hearts 14 - More Than I Can Say 15 - Life In The Jungle 16 - Chariots Of Fire 17 - Sailing 18 - Going Home (Theme From Local Hero) + Covers Enjoy some more rockabily music from this ever lasting band! http://rapidshare.de/files/13079779/Shapact.part1.rar http://rapidshare.de/files/13079804/Shapact.part2.rar http://rapidshare.de/files/13082105/Shapact.part3.rar http://rapidshare.de/files/13081118/Shapact.part4.rar Password: www.AvaxHome.ru For those who missed my earlier post, The Shadows "20 Golden Greats", here is the link: http://www.avaxhome.ws/music/2006/02/11/shadows_20_golden_greats/#full
