Los Straitjackets - Jet Set

Posted on 18:35 by Unknown
A great Surf Rock album from Los Straitjackets who have just recently come into my listening realm. The band bring back the sounds of The Ventures, Dick Dale, Duane Eddy, Link Wray, The Shadows and to a lesser degree Johnny & The Hurricanes which is a magnificent thing for fans of instrumental rock from this genre.



The beautiful melody of "Aerostar" or the groovieness of "Wrong Way Inn" are can't miss cool. The bands ability to bring a fresh breeze to my speakers creates a festive mood that makes me wish I could go back to the 50's and party with Anette and Frankie at one of those beach hangouts where everyone is dancing and having the time of their lives. 

If you appreciate good music then this album is for you no matter what your normal listening style. Just put on "Fur Sophia" and pull that hot little number close to you and have a nice snuggle on the beach under the stars and try to capture some of that magic that the melody so successfully sets you up to recieve.

I found this album and band on Rdio as I was checking out some new releases and once again Rdio turned me onto a winner. Los Straitjackets impressed me so much I'm investing time to listen to their back catalog to see just what I've been missing the last 17 years.
