Davie Allan’s Retrophonic combines previously unreleased vintage recordings with new tracks and is brimming with Davie’s signature searing fuzz guitar. The disc is dedicated to original Arrows rhythm guitarist Wayne Allwine who passed away last year, and whose vocals and saxophone are featured on Retrophonic. There are also vocal contributions from Ralph “Russ” Viot and Drew Bennett and drum tracks from Larry Brown, all charter Arrows members from the Apache 65 and Blues Theme era lineups of the band, making Retrophonic a “contemporary” vintage Arrows recording. Rounding out the all-star cast are current Arrows members Sam Bolle and Dusty Watson on bass and drums, respectively. Fresh new takes on familiar Arrows themes such as “William Tell 1967” (renamed “The Lone Arranger”), “Glory Stompers” and “Blues Theme” (recast as “Heavenly Blues”) mingle with new material and covers (such as The Mamas And The Papas’ “Straight Shooter” and Duane Eddy’s “Rebel Rouser” which receives the fuzz treatment here) with Davie’s trademark filthy-toned guitar presiding over the proceedings with a vehemence that completely belies the iconic guitarist’s soft-spoken and humble offstage demeanor. The vocal numbers offer some reprieve from the fire’n’brimstone guitar assaults with some intricately arranged harmonies, but the fuzz-soaked Fender Jazzmaster and Davie’s masterful hands are never far away from the spotlight. Never simply content to rest on his laurels and live off the reputation of his legendary 60s recordings, Davie has evolved his playing to even greater heights of virtuosity. Possessing an almost arrogant display of control over what is by definition a barely effect, Davie makes his signature fuzz-toned guitar scream and screech one moment and then has it singing sweetly the next instant, shaping his phrases into unpredictable melodic twists and turns punctuated by moaning whammy bar dips and squealing silicon-enhanced harmonics all over Retrophonic proving that he is the past, present, and future King of Fuzz Guitar.

Note: We have increased the price of the magazine by a buck, to $6.95/copy. We haven’t raised the price in 9 issues (since we added the CD to the magazine), and with the increased page count, it’s something we had to do.
