For the first years of the swinging 60s, the unique sound of The Shadows held sway over the airways, a hit factory that was responsible for such inimitable instrumental hits as "FBI", "Kon Tiki", "The Savage", "Wonderful Land", "Dance On", "Foot Tapper", singles which effortlessly recall an era. The Shadows dominated the hit parade, clocking up more weeks on the charts than The Rolling Stones, The Beegees, The Who... The most successful British group of all time apart from The Beatles. As a testament to The Shadows influence, one of the earlier Beatle compositions and the only John Lennon/George Harrison collaboration was an instrumental entitled "Cry For A Shadow". A generation grew up admiring the look and sound of The Shadows - Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor and Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler, are only some of the home grown superstars who have testified to The Shadows influence. While in Toronto, a teenage Neil Young was to later admit that hearing Hank Marvin's guitar was his first formative musical experience. A very novel tribute record, Twang spotlights the music of Hank Marvin and the Shadows. Clearly one of the biggest influences on surf as well as British rock & roll, the Shadows' music (aside from their work with Cliff Richard) was always marked by a clean precision that welded R&B, country, rock and other influences perfectly. The re-recordings here bear this out. One of the finest is the collaboration of Randy Bachman and Neil Young on "Spring Is Nearly Here." It's a gorgeous arrangement, augmented by Young's trademark intensity. Several other standouts include testimonials by Peter Frampton, Peter Green, Brian May, and others. A real must for fans of the art of the electric guitar.
Fanny was an American all-female band, active in the early 1970s. They were one of the first notable rock groups to be made up entirely of women, the third to sign with a major label (after Goldie & the Gingerbreads and the Pleasure Seekers), and the first to release an album on a major label (in 1970). They achieved two top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and released five albums.
A Chave foi uma banda de rock formada na cidade de Curitiba. Precursora do rock paranaense, sua formação contou com Ivo Rodrigues (vocalista), Paulo Teixeira (guitarra e vocais), Carlão Gaertner (baixo) e Orlando Azevedo (bateria) e grande parte das músicas compostas pelo grupo, tiveram a participação do poeta Paulo Leminski. Criada em 1969, sob a influência de bandas consagradas, como: Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Steppenwolf e Led Zeppelin, e com a sonoridade do “Classic Rock”, a banda tocou ao lado de famosos grupos ou cantores, como Secos e Molhados, Rita Lee & Tutti Frutti, Mutantes, O Terço, Made In Brazil, Casa das Máquinas, Joelho de Porco, Som Nosso de Cada Dia, Bixo da Seda, além de ter aberto o show do grupo norte-americano Bill Haley & His Comets, ocorrido em Curitiba no ano de 1975 . Em 1977, houve a gravação do compacto com os sucessos da banda “Buraco No Coração” e “Me Provoque Pra Ver” (as duas músicas escrita em parceria com Lemisnki), pela gravadora GTA. A banda dissolveu-se em maio de 1979 e logo após, o líder e vocalista Ivo Rodrigues entrou para a banda Blindagem, outro grupo do rock paranaense que manteve estreita parceria com Paulo Leminski. Em 2004, os integrantes do grupo descobriram, em uma feira de colecionadores, um CD não autorizado (CD pirata) com doze faixas de músicas de shows ao vivo e os dois sucessos do antigo compacto. Com a ajuda e patrocínio de uma rádio rock de Curitiba, o grupo re-produziu este CD, em duas edições limitadas (a segunda, após a primeira edição sumir dos pontos de vendas rapidamente), acompanhados de um show para comemorar os 25 anos de extinção do grupo.
While Zephyr made their mark first, this band was easily as popular in Colorado during the '70s. In fact, these two bands shared the stage on more than one ocassion, with a friendly competition between Judy Roderick and Candy Givens, the two lead vocalists. 60,000,000 Buffalo were known for their original material, arrangements and Don Debacker's guitar work. They completed one of two contracted albums for Atco, Nevada Jukebox, then broke up. They epitomize loose, funky Rocky Mountain rock & roll in the '70s.
49th Parallel was one of an unusual breed of garage punk bands to come out of Canada in the mid-'60s. Originally known as the Shades of Blond when they were formed in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the band featured Dennis Abbott on vocals, Dan Lowe and Bob Carlson on guitars, Dave Petch at the organ, Mick Woodhouse on bass, and Terry Bare on drums. The band was signed to Gaiety Records and made their debut in mid-1967 with "Labourer," a piece of hard-edged garage punk, laden with fuzz-tone guitar and a defiant sneer, that sold moderately well in Canada. Their second single, "Blue Bonnie Blue" (co-written by a then-unknown Delaney Bramlett about the equally unknown Bonnie Bramlett, no less) had more of a lyrical folk-rock feel, though it kept its sharp edge in the singing and lyrics. Around this time, Woodhouse exited the lineup and was succeeded by Dave Downey on bass; he was later replaced by Alf Cook, and Dennis Mundy (and later Jack Velker) succeeded Petch on organ. In the spring of 1969, they finally had a national hit in Canada with "Twilight Woman," which charted in parts of the United States as well, and sounded like a poppier, slightly folkier version of the sound that bands like Tomorrow were generating in England. The group was never able to capitalize on the success of "Twilight Woman" and its follow-up, "Now That I'm a Man," however, in part because they were unable to hold their lineup together. Lead singer Dennis Abbott quit after their release, and in the course of changing personnel -- with Doran Beattie replacing him -- their sound changed. By 1970, the group had changed its name to Painter. The latter group scored a modest hit with "West Coast Woman" and its follow-up, "Crazy Feeling," before the band was renamed Hammersmith in the early to mid-'70s. They, in turn, issued a pair of singles, "Feelin' Better" and "Late Night Lovin' Man." At their best, 49th Parallel had a hard, cutting sound that could have put them in the front ranks of garage punk bands, their slashing guitars and swirling organ around Abbott's lead vocals making a compelling and memorable sound, which was easily adaptable to psychedelic punk. Their slow ballads were suitably spacey in a pop/rock vein, but it was their harder numbers that hold up best. Like a lot of '60s bands, they outlived their era and metamorphosed into new shapes and directions. Guitarist Dan Lowe later made a fortune in the field of multimedia sound design, as the inventor of Q-Sound.
The 31st of February was a rock and roll band formed by Jacksonville, Florida natives Scott Boyer, David Brown and Butch Trucks. All three were alumni of Englewood High School in Jacksonville, though they did not come together musically until Brown and Trucks found themselves living on the same floor of a dormitory at Florida State University in the fall of 1965. Having heard the folk-rock of groups like The Byrds and The Lovin' Spoonful, saxophonist Brown bought an electric bass and started to jam with drummer Trucks, an alumnus of The Vikings, The Echoes and the Jacksonville Symphonette. Guitarist and vocalist Boyer, making his living as a folk singer, was contacted by Brown who offered his and Trucks' services if Boyer would trade his acoustic guitar for an electric guitar. Boyer agreed and the three formed a group, The Bitter Ind. (short for Independents). Playing fraternity parties, growing their hair long and ceasing to attend their classes (in Brown's and Trucks' cases), the group left Tallahassee after the end of the school year and tried their hand at performing in Daytona Beach. After being turned down repeatedly by club owners, the group found a bit of luck, landing a one-night performance at the Club Martinique. Shortly into their set, two members of the Allman Joys, a group that frequently appeared at the club, walked in and sat down. After the group finished, the two members introduced themselves and lavished praise on the group. They were the namesakes of the Allman Joys, Duane and Gregg Allman. When the Bitter Ind. relayed their story of their inability to get steady employment, the Allmans offered them free lodging. In time, the Bitter Ind. returned to Jacksonville discouraged, their meeting with the brothers Allman the only high point of their journey. Shortly after returning to Jacksonville, however, Trucks received a call from Duane Allman, stating that the Allman Joys were playing at the Beachcomber, a Jacksonville club, and that they needed a drummer. Trucks agreed to sit in for the night. After the show, Duane Allman suggested to Trucks to ask the club manager to let the Bitter Ind. audition. The manager agreed, loved the group's sound and let them stay on through mid-1967. After their engagement ended, the group, no doubt under threat of legal action from the New York nightclub The Bitter End, decided to change their name. After briefly using the moniker "The Tiffany System", the group found themselves in Miami, Florida, signed to folk giant Vanguard Records as The 31st of February. Their eponymous debut album was released in early 1968, a heady mix of folk-rock and psychedelic pop. After its failure to get noticed, the group added a lead guitarist and began to rework their sound. Almost immediately, the group again ran into Duane and Gregg Allman, who had just broken up their post-Allman Joys group The Hour Glass. Electing to join forces, the newly hired guitarist was fired and the remaining five-piece began performing throughout the Southeast. In September 1968, they began recording material for their second album, including nascent versions of "Melissa" (which would come out on the Allman Brothers Band's Eat A Peach album in 1972) and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out" (which Duane Allman would later cut with Derek and the Dominos). Though the material would not come out until four years later, they serve as an important bridge towards the sound that The Allman Brothers Band would be producing within twelve months. Whilst in the midst of recording and touring, Gregg Allman elected to move out to southern California in order to let his brother and the remaining members of the Hour Glass be freed from their contract with Liberty Records. Though Gregg offered the others positions in his backing band, nothing came of it and in a matter of months, Butch Trucks would join Duane and Gregg Allman in The Allman Brothers Band. Scott Boyer ended up forming the group Cowboy with Tommy Talton, eventually signing to the Allman Brothers Band's label, Capricorn Records. He is currently recovering from artery replacement surgery. David Brown ended up a studio bassist, eventually joining Boz Scaggs's band and, later, Cowboy with Boyer. He remains a member of Norton Buffalo and the Knockouts despite Norton Buffalo's untimely death on 30 October 2009. After joining the Allman Brothers Band, Butch Trucks has stayed there since 1969, save for the group's first (1976–1979) and second (1982–1989) hiatuses.
27 Miles é uma banda norte-americana de Southern Rock, fundada em Malibu, Califórnia. A banda é formada por Kevin "Solly" Solomon (Vocal e Guitarra), Daniel Meier (Guitarra, Slide), Eric Rondell (Baixo) e Kurt Custer (Bateria, Backing Vocals). O quarteto foi formado em 2001, pelos amigos de infância Kevin Solomon e Donny Kulp, e surgiu dentro da grande explosão de talentos da cena musical de Malibu, Califórnia, atendendo pelo nome de The Band 454, mas que em 2005 por questões legais, tiveram de mudar seu nome para 27 Miles. O baixista Jason Benfields começou a tocar por volta dos 13 anos de idade. Suas maiores influências são o Allman Brothers Band e Gov't Mule. Kurt Custer, que já tocou no Lynyrd Skynyrd e gravou "Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991" (1991) e "The Last Rebel" (1993), entrou no lugar do baterista original Joseph Kern em 2009. A formação original consistia em Kevin "Solly" Solomon (Vocal e Guitarra), Donny Kulp (Guitarra, Slide), Jason Benfields (Baixo) e Joseph Kern (Bateria, Backing Vocals). Em 2006, a banda resolveu trazer o produtor britânico Daniel Wills (filho do baixista Rick Wills - Foreigner, Small Faces e Bad Company) para finalizar ideias e concluir algumas canções para serem gravadas no primeiro álbum de estúdio da banda. Daniel apresentou a banda ao produtor/engenheiro Brian Dobbs (Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Echo Brain, Man Made God), que seria o homem certo para o trabalho de mixar as faixas gravadas e finalizar o que seria o primeiro álbum de estúdio da banda. Com uma pegada única, que mescla Southern Rock ao Classic Rock com boas doses de Blues, influenciados por The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Led Zeppelin, Gov't Mule, Stevie Ray Vaughan e Jimi Hendrix, o álbum de estréia, "Bringin' It Back", foi gravado em 2006, e liberado em 2007. O álbum contou com as participações dos guitarristas Dean Deleo (Stone Temple Pilots) nos solos das canções "Where Does It All Belong To" bem como wm "Lessons Learned" e Duane Betts, filho de Dickey Betts (The Allman Brotheres Band), na canção "Brotherhood".
10cc foi uma banda britânica de art rock famosa na década de 1970.

Desde 1999, Gouldman tem feito uma turnê com uma versão da banda formada por Rick Fenn, Paul Burgess, Mick Wilson, Mike Stevens e/ou Keith Hayman, com aparições ocasionais convidado por Kevin Godley. A banda lançou duas turnês nacionais no Reino Unido e Europa, tocando os sucessos do 10cc, além de composições de Gouldman que foram sucessos na voz de outros artistas.
Anson Funderburgh, Big Joe Maher, Kevin McKendree, Steve Mackey. There's hardly enough room here to list the accomplishments of these 4 artists, only that the whole is even better than the parts. I know that's a pretty big claim but the music on this disc is all the proof one needs. Its just what you would expect from these top shelf musicians whose song writing and playing skills has the authenticity that few players can produce while still sounding fresh and vital. - amazon.com
