Various Artists - Instroville - Hits & Rarities From The Golden Age Of Pop Instrumentals (Double CD)
Just as Doo Wop and the Girl Group sound made an important contribution to the story of Rock'n'Roll, so too did the Pop Instrumental, bringing with it a new dimension and diversity to the charts. From the mid-1950s until the British Invasion, arguably Instrumentals were to spawn more one-hit wonders than any other genre, largely because so many were recorded by faceless session players, not bone fide Pop artistes. Often used by radio programmers as a convenient means by which to segue seamlessly into the news, some anonymous instro might become part of a station's playlist if enough listeners enquired after it and many did... in droves. Dyed-in-the-wool Jazzers, seasoned Bluesmen, Country gentlemen and proto-Punks peppered the US Pop and R&B charts with numbers both perky and menacing, their sax-honkin', piano-plinkin', bongo-stompin', Fender-twangin', finger-clickin' sounds leaving an indelible print on Pop music.
Covering the period 1956-9, this carefully compiled, hit-laden 50-track set draws together chart-toppers (Dave 'Baby' Cortez, Santo & Johnny, The Champs, etc.), lesser-heard gems (Joe Maphis, The Frantics, Cozy Cole) and cult classics (The Spacemen, Link Wray, Martin Denny). Essential listening for all instro devotees.
