Album Notes

Over the years, Dave has played and/or recorded with such popular musicians as Billy Sheehan, Georgie Fame, Barbara Lewis, The Drifters, Thor, Phil "Fang" Volk, Wale, Phil Naro and more. His bands have shared the bill as opening act, sometimes even as the headliner, for Montrose, Ronnie James Dio, Melissa Manchanchester, Canned Heat, Lou Gramm, the Bar-Kays, the Happenings, You can hear Dave's classic hard rock guitar style in the central Florida area. His live performances include some of the great Cream & Hendrix classics, which are obvious vehicles for ripping guitar jams, but there are also quite a few surprises in his song list.
Whether performing on stage or in the studio, Dave Munkhoff's music crosses the boundaries of normal classification. His musical roots are long and varied, which was very evident on his first solo CD, "Mood Swings". This CD, entitled "Out Of The Past" has more of a blues and jazz infuence flowing through most of the tracks. Being a strong hard rocker at heart, Dave's playing always has strength and intensity even when delivering a clean jazz performance. Classic rock, because of the wide range of styles that fall under this category, is the easiest way to classify this CD. Better yet, just call this an instumental guitar album.
