V/A - The Shadow Knows More CD (Bear Family)

This is the 2nd volume in Bear Family's mystery series! Sometimes orchestral, sometimes horror-rockabilly, in any case mysterious! There has always been horror, as the present recordings from four decades, from 1930 to 1966, prove! As in the first volume of 'The Shadow Knows', the title refers to the legendary radio series of the early 1930s. The original intro to the radio series here for the first time on CD! A sort of title song in this unique compilation is The Shadow Knows by Gene Vincent's Blue Cap Paul Peek. Mighty threatening orchestral interludes come from Ted Heath, Jimmy Carroll and the ‘’small’’ orchestra, The Champs, while it swings menacingly when Louis Armstrong is afraid of the Spooks and Putney Dandridge and his orchestra discover the Skeleton In The Closet! There's also a series of rockabilly rhythms that will freeze your blood in your veins, including some instrumentals, especially the groovy Theme from 'The Devils Hand' by Baker Knight, and also Duane Eddy, Freddy Countryman and even the Mexican Los Gibson Boys with El Vampiro. By far the greatest rarity is a radio transcription by Dean Martin from 1954, his version of Ghost Riders In The Sky!
