DAVIE ALLAN & THE ARROWS -"Commanche" (1966)

The Pop legacy of Ennio Morricone!:

Westerns ruled the first decade of American TV, and rockers like Link Wray and Duane Eddy unleashed many classic instrumentals inspired by the West. Dick Dale and surf bands continued this, and film composers John Barry and Ennio Morricone brought that hard-clanging sound into the James Bond and 'Man With No Name' films. Here Davie Allan updates Link Wray's "Comanche" in perfect synch with the work Ennio was doing with his guitarist, Alessandro Alessandroni.

Doubleneck guitars have been around since the turn of the century (check out some of the harp-guitars popular in the WWI era)...as for electrics....look up Grady Martin's 50s Bigsby doubleneck, or those Mosrite doublenecks that Joe Maphis and Larry Collins played - there are videos of them on youtube.

First one I saw live was Chad Stuart (with Chad & Jeremy) Baptist College Chas, S.C. 1966. Great band and a real awesome show. They even did a credible Stormy Monday (!) james William Guercio was on bass that night, later the producer of the Buckinghams and the brains behind Chicago and the Colorado Caribou Records empire. Nothing erases the memory of Chad announcing to the awed audience: "You try tuning 18 strings..."...

Superb i just found an original album of these guys with this track on it! I haven't played it yet but am anticipating the listen now after hearing this track. I have a copy of the soundtrack album to Wild Angels so have some idea of this superb band.

A twin necked Mosrite. Cool. I wish I had one.

Even the best-known of the bunch, Jimmy Page's double-neck SG, was made before '67.
