A MUST HAVE! by Charles Wilder (Dover, NH United States) 5 Stars
December 20, 2003
A much underrated group today but "back then" they were great favorites. Of all the great intrumental bands of that era "Johnny and the Hurricanes" had the best up tempo beat for dancing. In my crowd vocals were to listen to and instrumentals were to dance to. And when the dimes went down the slot these guys got the call as often any band other than possibly Duane Eddy. And when I went into the Navy there was no escaping "Reveille Rock" every morning on the local radio stations. If you enjoy early instrumental rock and wanted just one by "Johnny and the Hurricanes",this CD is the one! It has most of their popular numbers and the sound is great! Highly recommended!

About time for these guys by Zub (North Plainfield, NJ)  4 Stars
August 12, 2001
The rock instrumentals coming out of the Golden Age of American rock and roll were defined by the likes of Duane Eddy, the Ventures, the Champs and Sandy Nelson. As much a part of this era but much less recognized was the group of Johnny Pocisk and his Hurricanes. This band produced a string of energetic, organ and sax-dominated rock instrumentals in the late 50s and early 60s. Much of their output was based on a formula of creating rock tunes out of traditional songs. In spite of their notable chart successes, their music has largely been ignored in the domestic CD reissue market until now. Varese Vintage records has come out with this first high-quality compilation of Johnny and the Hurricanes tunes. Titled as the "Very Best of...", this collection contains most of the higher-charting singles along with some b-sides and album cuts. The omission of two of their lower-charting singles notwithstanding, this piece presents a good overview of the Hurricanes' output from both their Warwick and Big Top label stints. (These missing tunes are available on some other import Hurricanes CDs from Black Tulip - an excellent greatest-hits collection - and album-oriented CDs from Repertoire in Germany). Sound quality is very good and far better than most other Hurricanes pieces available. Many tracks (1,2,4,8,11,12,13,17,20) are in true stereo. An eight-page booklet contains some pics and a backround history of the group. Another high-quality reissue from Varese Vintage that fills a long-standing gap in the universe of classic American rock and roll reissues.

| Twang Thang: Anthology
by Duane Eddy
All pompadour, cheekbones, and a trademark "twangy" sound that boomed like it was recorded at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Duane Eddy was rock & roll's first guitar-hero. Beginning with "Moovin' n' Groovin" (1957), the combination of Eddy's hollow-body Gretch, Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, a tremolo unit, and oceans of echo racked up dozens of hits. The best ("Rebel Rouser," "Forty Miles of Bad Road," and "Dance with the Guitar Man") are also typical--Duane twangs a simple melody over some...
