Two dozen slabs of torrid twang by one of the greatest and busiest studio musicians of the 1960 and beyond.
Think of any record at all that was made in Los Angeles in the 1960s and theres a fair to definite chance that Jerry Cole played on it (the "Pet Sounds" album being just one of a list of landmark recordings in which Cole participated). When he wasnt in the studio cutting other peoples records, or touring as part of the hit instrumental group the Champs, he was busy knocking out groovy instrumental albums, under a plethora of aliases, for Moderns budget Crown label (among others).
"Hot Rod Twangin" offers a sampling from almost a dozen albums that Cole cut pseudonymously for Crown, and shows that there was no style of music that the man could not comfortably embrace - from the Ventures to Booker T & the MGs, he and his session cronies could do the lot.
Compiled by Texan axeman and general guitar fanatic Burnin Mike Vernon and released with the approval and participation of Jerry himself, this is a package that no lover of instrumental 60s rocknroll can afford to be without.
