01. Fugitive
One of Jan's best from 1964 puts baying hound dogs chasing this poor slob who didn't commit the crime and Jan paints the feel, so You, the audience, knows it and are rooting for his escape. Jan's driving guitar tells the story. Read

02. Bullfight Song
This Spanish classic standard was (and still is) played primarily by philharmonic and symphony orchestras all over the world. But, leave it to Jan Davis to funk it up and get down with his own brand of Rock/Surf guitar and a straight, driving beat. It's like butter! |
|
|
03. Malaguena
Talk about your Spanish standards! It's the #1 most requested Spanish tune in the world and Davis has recorded several versions. This was his FIRST and always a favorite with his fans. |
|
|
04. Delicado
Davis had fun with this Percy Faith monster. Jan dishes up a Bo-Diddly track feel here, with some vocal nonsense thrown in, then mixed it all and came up with a tasty result. Truly something different. |
|
|
05. Sabre Rock
It's unusual that Davis would pick this Russian classic to record with electric guitar. But as you may know, Jan has pioneered many sounds that are deemed 'unusual.' It's fun! |
|
|
06. The Time Funnel
Jan was a freak for sound effects in the 60's and when you hear the guy screaming as he's sucked into the "Time Funnel," you'll agree. What makes it exciting is the driving instrumental feel you get! |
|
|
07. Walk, Don't Run
This particular 'plate' has been done to death, or overcooked, by being played often by most instrumental groups. So Davis figuered he may as well cook up something a little 'off-flavored' and it's done with his Flamenco/Rock style. |
|
|
08. Raunchy
One of the best renditions of this Ernie Freeman/Bill Justice monster, with cookin', driving sax and horn sections complimenting the guitar and sitar leads. Mmmm, it's delicious! |
|
|
09. In The Year 2525
Davis picked this one for its Latin style chord progression. It fit his Flamenco/Rock style of the 70's and he serves it up with quite a tasty feel.
|
|
|
10. Funky Mudd
A 'Down & Dirty' Blues/Rock ditty that serves electric guitar from top to bottom. |
|
|
11. Moody River
Some folks might call this another 'side-dish.' Pat Boone had a hit with his vocal version. As an instrumental, Jan Davis figuered, "Oh, what the hey, let's give it a go!" |
|
|
12. Toledo
This original by Davis was one of his first recordings. You can easily tell by the simplicity of the Rock feel. If you are into nostalgic sounds, this will taste good! |
|
|
13. Aquarius
One 'bang-up' arrangement of a song everyone likes. Jan liked it too, and that's why he chose to record his own, unforgettable version. |
|
|
14. Bolero
This classic version of Ravel's 'Bolero' has been repackaged a lot. Why? Because it is so MEMORABLE. Jan has dished up one of the best guitar versions on the planet, and when you hear his string arrangements of violins and cello, you'll flip like a pancake! |
|
|
15. Gypsy Fox
Like a fine glass of wine to top off your meal, this Latin/Rock 'cooler' drives pretty good, and the guitar work is further embellished with 'par excellence' drums of the legendary Earl Palmer. Better than butter! |
|
|
16. Damascus
One of the first guitar instrumentals to be dished-up by Davis in the late 1950's to the early 60's. " Damascus " has a Middle-East flavor with a rock track. You can tell by listening, this guy was way ahead of his time. |
