Blow By Blow

Product Information

As an all-instrumental album it was a surprising commercial success, with a jazz fusion-like approach seldom seen on best-selling lists at the time. It was certified Gold in 1976. Even when I once watched him play Savoy on an unplugged 1956 Gretsch Duo-Jet with heavy flatwound strings, it still sounded uncannily like what he recorded on Guitar Shop.

I didn’t like the ’60s and ’70s basically. I hated them. The mid ’60s were okay, because every day was a hurricane in the Yardbirds and I could afford to look at it with contempt; around me were a lot of things I had nothing to do with, like flower power and awful things like flared trousers. I couldn’t even touch a guitar string because the pain was so bad… I had to re-establish the connection between my brain and my fingertips.” The Blasters' Dave Alvin on the highspots and the horrors of his career in five songs Cause We've Ended as Lovers" is a very beautiful song. He had his moments with the Yardbirds (Roger the Engineer) but I'd still take his solo stuff over them. I was determined not to bore anybody with any jazz. Things like Blow By Blow were just unadulterated jazz, but I didn’t think so at the time. The amps onstage were an early ’70s Fender Champ and an Ampeg VT-40. I believe the Champ was only used as a driver for his Kustom “The Bag” talk box, and the Ampeg was his main guitar amp.No. He didn’t know I existed. The awe I would have been in of him, and he would have been sitting there, wishing he was fishing.

I was getting so depressed by ’65 because I was 10 years too late to be around the Gene Vincent, Cliff Gallup thing, and I bitterly resent that.
