Description
Hank Marvin: the man who defined the sound of a generation releases his 16th solo album, his first since the Top 10 success of the eponymously titled HANK in 2014. Entitled Without A Word the album comprises 14 new recordings all of which given Hank's interpretation of some of his all-time favourite tunes, along with one new original composition; Russian Doll co-written and recorded with his son Ben. Hank Marvin is one of the most influential guitar players of all time. Initially known as the lead guitarist of The Shadows - the band that evolved to become the UK's biggest ever selling instrumental group - Hank has also enjoyed a long and successful solo career lasting almost 60 years. Hank was the very first in the UK to own an iconic Fender Stratocaster - when Cliff Richard imported the guitar from the US exclusively for Hank to play - since when generations of guitar players worldwide cite him as the man that inspired them to pick up their first guitar, a tribute confirmed when he regularly features high on the list of polls that determine the greatest guitarists of all time. Hank & The Shadows ruled the charts during the early 1960s achieving huge record sales worldwide. His unique sound and subsequent influence on popular music cannot be underestimated. Those having paid tribute to Hank include Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, George Harrison, Brian May, Pete Townshend, David Gilmour and Mark Knopfler. Without A Word will appeal to fans of all ages and with a targeted promotional and TV advertising campaign, the album is set to be another successful release for the man who created that sound!

At the moment the price for the Amazon UK Exclusive Limited Edition and the Standard Edition are identical, so it's a good time to lock in the exclusive before it sells out.

I'm intrigued (if slightly apprehensive) to hear what Hank has done to the Doctor Who Theme. (The Shadow's version of the theme from Star Wars was not one of their finest moments.)
