DAVIE ALLEN & THE ARROWS : “BULLSEYE : A SIXTIES RETROSPECTIVE” CD…..
Before I delve into a detailed review of this one, I’ll stop myself from doing so and mention only that this excellent but impossible-to-find 60s compilation from biker soundtrack/distortion master DAVIE ALLEN is a hog-wild overview of some of this guitarslinger’s incredible MORRICONE-meets-MC5, reverbed-out surf & fuzz instrumentals. That is, until the May 24th release date of “Devil’s Rumble” on Sundazed, a 2-CD set that promises to be the definitive statement from the guitarist who almost out-Link Wrayed LINK WRAY. About time! Suffice to say I’ll give that one the full review treatment instead once my pre-order hits my mailbox in late May.
