Track by Track Review
Shadows Country (Instrumental)
This is the best track. It has an intense western feeling, and is quite melodic. The twang is irrepressible, and the power unmistakable. It rolls relentlessly down the highway, across open spaces. I'm not sure it relates a vision of black ice, more of an Arizona highway with the top down.
Shadows Country (Instrumental)
Cowpoke ramblin' music. Melodic and fun, and mostly rodeo bound. Light twang, pretty, and endearing to the pickup truck set.
Shadows Country (Instrumental)
Like a rearranged Fireballs thing, or maybe a less schmaltzy Duane Eddy. The vibrato guitar is tasty, and the semi city-folk country backtrack is appropriate for the melody line.
Shadows Country (Instrumental)
Pure country twang, looking for Duane in all the wrong cowboy bars. Very pretty, Shadows twangy, and melodic.
MOR Country (Instrumental)
MOR country, melodic bovine fare, with solid writing. It's a nice country tune.
Shadows Country (Instrumental)
Like you thought, it's Shadows all the way. Duane Eddy meets Hank Marvin at the studio for an "instant hit" session. Uninspired, though precise with nice tones. Countrified ale and bangers.
