Hot Rod Twangin': The 1960s Crown Recordings
December 11, 2006

Product Description
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 there's 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 wasn't in the studio cutting other people's 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 Modern's 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 rock`n'roll can afford to be without.

Guitars A Go Go: The 1960s Crown Recordings Vol 2
April 26, 2010

Product Description
In the 1960s, the late Jerry Cole was one of America's most prolific guitarists, turning his hand to surf music, rock, country, jazz and blues and playing on sessions for Brian Wilson, Phil Spector and countless others. He would replace less proficient group members at recordings, often anonymously.

Cole made several low-budget-but very technically proficient albums for the Modern label's Crown imprint. This is our second helping from these sources - following the 2006 release of "Hot Rod Twangin'".

The golden age of guitar-driven rock'n'roll instrumentals lasted from 1957 to around 1967. In order to satisfy the public's newly-found fascination with the electric guitar, countless guitar-oriented records were released during the era and the now often-overlooked genre exploded with a blast of sounds and rhythms never heard before that time.

Without uttering a word, these magnificent and sometimes quirky guitar instros captured and conveyed the excitement and mystery of the space age, surfing, spying, hot rods, gang fights, beatniks, love, drinking, the wild west, exotic locations, food, superheroes, moods, dance crazes, weather, local colour and tripping on acid. And it was usually accomplished in under three minutes.
