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 More |

|
02. 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! |
 |
|
03. Watusi Zombie
WOW. If you were to fly over the
deepest jungle and drop guitars and a drum set onto the soft
foliage... and let's say four or five cannibals picked them
up and started jamming to the rhythm of the jungle sounds,
you'd probably hear this one! LAFD'S Captain Dave Fullerton
on drums. |
 |
|
04. Pooky
Another side dish of bouncy rock. Could
this have been a 'B' side of an early 45 RPM? Let your
tast buds be your guide on this one. |
 |
|
05. Walkin' Back
Ever watch a Hippo dance? A Hippo
would choose this track to dance to! A funky, heavy beat, with
a moderate Rock and Blues feel, and it feels good! |
 |
|
06. Guitar Star
Jan Davis wonders why he ever did this
one. Although he didn't perform the vocals, you'll have
to guess who did! Some may call this song a "clunker" but
it's still a matter of taste. |
 |
|
07. Man From Nowhere
If you think you're hearing the same
underlying tracks as heard with
"The Time Funnel," or "Run For Your Life" or "In Combat," you
ARE. Jan Davis liked experimenting with different melodies
and arrangements on top of this cookin' track, so you can take
your pick! |
 |
|
08. Lost In Space
Described as one of the greatest Rock/Surf
instrumentals ever recorded. Not only does it twist and
turn with hot drums & bass, it stands out as different
and exciting with nicely placed chord changes. It's like dessert. |
 |
|
09. (Return Of) The Green Hornet
Here's the same track as "The Flight
Of The Bee." But WAIT! No violins or horn section on
this one, so you can actually hear the cutting, accurate speed
of Jan's lead guitar. Wow...best guitar performance around...
He's flyin'! |
 |
|
10. Boss Machine
A Hot Rod oldie that cooks along with
surfy guitar, splattered with acoustic piano, just to get the
girls on the California beach. They know he's cool, he's
cool! |
 |
|
11. More (Mondo Cane Theme)
An uptempo, cutting guitar version of
this great hit song. Backed up by the great Earl Palmer
on drums and the most professional studio musicians available. |
 |
|
12. Mystique
A Smooth Jazz feel that takes you away. Sort
of an extra on this menu and a cool matter of taste. |
 |
|
13. The Unwanted
This is one of the favorites of Jan Davis
fans. Especially if you've ever felt unwanted. You'll
pick up the vibe of this haunting track right away. |
 |
|
14. Run For Your Life
How do you feel when this one is playing? You
feel as if you're running for some reason, but you don't know
what it is, so you just keep on running! Don't we all? |
 |
|
15. Dreamer
Jan slows things down and gets down with
this melodic blues ballad. It gives you a bit of a Santo & Johnny "Sleepwalk" feel.
Relax, enjoy and LISTEN. |
 |
|
16. Hop, Skip, & Jump
A delicious little side dish of an early
60's romp. So simple, your kid may want to learn to play
guitar by playing along with this one! |
 |
|
17. Scramble
Rhythmic sax and guitar ditty with some
scrambled piano thrown in! An early 60's sound for sure! |
 |
|
18. Snow Surfin' Matador
"Yah, Yahhhh!" Could be a "Frankie
Valle" lament that embelishes this SUPER HOT and soulful, driving,
Latin feel instrumental, with castanets adding to the spicy
flavor, painting all kinds of pictures as you listen. Hot,
hot, hot! |
 |
|
19. The Flight of the Bee
Unless you ARE a Bumble Bee, there's
no matching the speed of this guitar performance by Davis.
Other guitarists agree, it could be the world's fastest rendition. Yet
some say, "Aw, they must have sped that up, right?" Nope. |
 |
|
20. In Combat
You may, or may not, recognize the same
underlying tracks as heard on "The Time Funnel," or "Man From
Nowhere," or even "Run For Your Life," because Jan wanted "In
Combat" to stand alone with the effects that make it memorable. |
 |
|
21. Vertigogo
Vertigogo puts your imagination to work. You
can visualize the vertical ups and downs all surfers enjoy
as you listen! |
 |
|
22. Surf Buster
Surf Buster closes this CD album with
another crazy little instrumental, straight to you from the
surfin' 60s. It's an iPod favorite! |
