 About This:
Featuring Martin Schmidt (The Razorblades) on guitar, bass and DUSTY WATSON (Dick Dale, Slacktone, Agent Orange, Supersuckers) on drums! 21 Tracks inbetween Surf, Rockabilly, Lounge Exotica and Blues.
This CD displays an amazing amalgam of surf and country and island holiday steel. While it's not wholly inside the surf envelope, it sure is a wonderful release. Some of these tracks will raise the hair on the back of your neck, and others will force you to get up and move.
"This is a splendid collaboration, with a long list of cool tracks and really good playing. The Incredible Mr. Smith is Martin Schmidt & Dusty Watson. Schmidt's previous solo releases, as well as those with his band The Razorblades are well worth seeking out, and Watson, well, Dusty is doubtless the best modern surf drummer around. He has played with Jon & the Nightriders, Slacktone, Agent Orange, and a plethora of others." (Phil Dirt) -
If you watched too much TV in the 70s, dig old Clint Eastwood movies and cops and robber shows and prefer instrumental music, The Incredible Mr. Smith delivers the right sound for your ears: An energizing mixture of Californian Surf and Spaghetti Western Sound in the tradition of Ennio Morricone, Hillibilly Twang and wild Sixties Rock combined with a lot of guitar action between Twang, Noise and Blues. If you ever dreamed of a guitarist that sounds like the bastard son of Dick Dale, Link Wray, Jimi Hendrix. and Jeff Beck, your search may have come to an end. Since 1997, The Incredible Mr. Smith (aka Martin Schmidt, also with the Razorblades) has played festivals and small clubs all over Germany and made audiences happy. Adventures In The Land Of Twang features his reverb drenched, echo bathed guitar that plays melodies bigger than the ocean - delivering the sounds and songs you've been longing for.
