Description

Since his career began in the late 50s with the Drifters (who then had to become the Shadows), Hank Marvin has steadily become what many guitarists call "A guitar players guitarist" thanks to his very unique sound. Fitting then that after four decades in the business he has earned the title Hank Marvin--Guitar Player. These days he's rarely in the limelight as Hank's brand of easy listening covers in a twangy guitar style don't break any boundaries but then again they don't have to. For this latest one he loses his signature sound of Fender Strat and hefty reverb for an acoustic six string butmore… the arrangements remain much the same. However, with no echo to fill space Hank's really got into a nice rhythmic style with a few ditties like "Ticket to Ride" "American Pie" and "Eleanor Rigby" positively rocking by usual standards. Other high points are his Latin workout of the Eagles' "Hotel California" and a Dixieland blues romp called "Benny's Toon". Some of the songs may sound a bit like a holiday camp entertainer but like his previous solo material, much of it would sound better if backing a cinematic event with it being a little too subtle to grab your interest on its own but together with some on screen drama could work wonders. But anyway, as good as it is... bring back your tremolo arm and twangy electric guitar Hank.--Dave Pordigits
