Hoffers Music is a channel dedicated to The Shadows' original songs composed by the group and as an outlet for my own recordings which often began as home demos or little ideas inspired by listening to all kinds of music from an early age. In 2011 I formed The Tone Raiders which was an instrumental outfit paying homage to 1950s/60s guitar heroes like The Shadows, Ventures, Spotnicks, Duane Eddy, The Outlaws and many more. In 2012 The Tone Raiders issued an album (CD) entitled 'Under The Influence' which was well received amongst the instrumental fraternity. Follow up sessions produced more tracks for a second album but to date this has not come to fruition. I hope you enjoy my music. Thanks for dropping by.
With all these AI-generated songs, I thought that by the name of the band it was just another one, but by the beat you can see that it's not something artificially generated, the 60s had a lot of good ones with all kinds of themes, from astronauts to Roman soldiers, very good!
It's insane how much influence on Ritchie Blackmore you can hear in this track. The tone has a real bite, but you can hear it in the vibrato as well, the lines, the lyrical nature of the playing.
BBC - We got our own back the following year - The pirate radio Stations started broadcasting removing about 80% of younger generation listeners from the BBC Light Programme - They learned Our generation was different. The Government harassed the 'Pirates' and closed them down with 'The Marine, &c., Broadcasting (Offences) Act 1967. All this woke up the BBC to the real world, (for a while) and they Started 'Radio One'. They need another 'good kick now' (2024).
@@hoffersmusic815 No its never too late. Music exploded in the early 70s and these albums sit happily with all the other prog stuff as total quality. Its not like we overlooked this band because they were the Shadows. We were brought up with the Shadows - what is not to like? Its just that they somehow evaded our attention. My group of friends were wholly unaware of them. We would definitely have bought them had they been aired by Nightingale, Whispering Bob or Peel.
Magic. I try to play as Hank since 60 years. I've play bass also during many years. Remember Jet Harris. It's very difficult to imitate. But i continue to play. I'm 77 years old. I cannot compete !!!! Thank you Hank Jet Tony Bruce etc ... Excuse me ; i'm french an my english is a little hem !!! Hi all
Thats what I like about The Shadows they can turn their hands to play any type of music, talented musicians yes!!! How many bands can do that, answers in a plain brown envelope please.
WOW! Can't believe it's taken me this long to hear this original after loving the songs since 1997 via the cover by The Omega Men (from Lancaster PA). It was the song that opened the SHADOWS tribute album from MuSick Recordings.
Beautiful Brian Bennett / Bruce welch melody played as only the shads could. Thanks for these posts and accompanying info. Great for us die hard fans 👍
Great stuff, i recall Brian saying about how the title came about. This was the time of the "New Romantics" and Brian said the Shads were the "Old Romantics".
