A volcanic compilation—Dancehall Stringbusters! Vol. 2 is an instant Friday afternoon kegger—featuring a stunning array of early to mid-’60s guitar-slinging instrumentals. From the twangy gee-tar sounds of Joe Maphis to the reverb-soaked magic of Keetie & the Kats, this rumbling noisemaker spotlights wall-to-wall, six-string sounds from revered guitar heroes like Roy Buchanan and Phil Baugh to forgotten stringbending warriors every bit as devastating—Bobby Wayne, the Fugitives, the Belmont Five and the Maybees take a back seat to no one. Remarkably, these 20 tracks, chock-full of growling fretboard mojo, form a cohesive statement through the very attribute they all share: they can’t be pigeon-holed. Rare photos, detailed notes and absolute killer fidelity. No lyric-sheet enclosed!
