Album Notes

The Knights (A.K.A. King Richard and The Knights) were a well-known, New Mexico guitar instrumental and frat-rock vocal band in the Southwest U.S. during the early to mid '60s. Two orginal members (Dick Stewart - lead guitar, Gary Snow - bass) reformed the group in 1998 with new drummer, Steve Hudgins, and have since made a big impression musically throughout the Internet with a number of very moving, innovative instrumental melodies set in the early '60s traditional guitar rock style. Some of these modern tracks are updates of their '60s releases, which is really what this album is all about.

REVIEWS

The old meets the new!
author: R. Davey
I'm a fan of The Knights and the various other Knights configurations. This cd contains old mid 60's tunes, and some re-recorded updated versions.I prefer the re-recorded,but that's probably due to 40 years more practice and better recording studios. These are all instrumentals (in a Ventures vain)with one vocal track. Some tracks will please the surf instro fan too.I don't think this is the strongest Knights cd, but I still can recommend it to instro fans.
