VA • Rock Instrumental Classics - Vol.4 - Soul

 

 

Rock Instrumental Classics, Vols. 1-5 Review by Heather Phares
Rock Instrumental Classics, Vols. 1-5 collects all the volumes of Rhino's Rock Instrumental Classics series into a five-disc box set. Each volume individually and as a set lives up to the title; Santo & Johnny's "Sleepwalk," Bill Justis' "Raunchy," the Champs' "Tequila," and Link Wray's "Rumble" are just a few of the standout tracks from the first disc, which chronicles the rise of instrumental rock in the '50s. The Ventures' "Walk, Don't Run," the Tornados' "Telstar," the T-Bones' "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)," and Mason Williams' "Classical Gas" are among the '60s instrumental hits from the second volume, while Hot Butter's "Popcorn," Billy Preston's "Outa-Space," Van McCoy's "The Hustle," and the Edgar Winter Group's "Frankenstein" are some of the late-'60s and early-'70s classics featured on the third and fourth discs. The final disc is dedicated to surf, the king of instrumental rock genres, and features such twangy singles as the Belairs' "Mr. Moto," Dick Dale's "Miserlou," the Crossfires' "Fiberglass Jungle," and Jack Nitzsche's "The Lonely Surfer." Rock Instrumental Classics, Vols. 1-5 is a wonderfully comprehensive and entertaining retrospective of instrumental rock's golden years, and a must for any fan of the genre.

Rock Instrumental Classics, Vols. 1-5 recopila todos los volúmenes de la serie Rock Instrumental Classics de Rhino en una caja de cinco discos. Cada volumen por separado y como conjunto hace honor al título; "Sleepwalk" de Santo & Johnny, "Raunchy" de Bill Justis, "Tequila" de los Champs y "Rumble" de Link Wray son sólo algunos de los temas destacados del primer disco, que narra el auge del rock instrumental en los años 50. Walk, Don't Run" de los Ventures, "Telstar" de los Tornados, "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)" de los T-Bones y "Classical Gas" de Mason Williams son algunos de los éxitos instrumentales de los 60 del segundo volumen, mientras que "Popcorn" de Hot Butter, "Outa-Space" de Billy Preston, "The Hustle" de Van McCoy y "Frankenstein" del Edgar Winter Group son algunos de los clásicos de finales de los 60 y principios de los 70 incluidos en el tercer y cuarto disco. El último disco está dedicado al surf, el rey de los géneros instrumentales del rock, y presenta singles tan enérgicos como "Mr. Moto" de los Belair, "Miserlou" de Dick Dale, "Fiberglass Jungle" de los Crossfires y "The Lonely Surfer" de Jack Nitzsche. Rock Instrumental Classics, Vols. 1-5 es una retrospectiva maravillosamente completa y entretenida de los años dorados del rock instrumental, imprescindible para cualquier fan del género.
