Sounds Like: "... conjuring up every Technicolor angel and demon in my sizable collection of guitar LPs. With barely a breath between tunes, they ripped through instrumental versions of Stax hits, cranked up Buddy Holly numbers, a Buck Owens medley, an Ike Turner blues, Santo and Johnny... Incendiary soulful solos were passed back and forth like a bottle of Thunderbird. Sly bursts of chicken pickin punctuated speedy breaks. Mock steel-guitar bends were wrenched from regular guitar strings..."
