Raunchy!, Vol. 2: More Instrumentals - Rockin' into the Sixties

Mixing a little jazz, some country, some uptown blues, and a whole lot of R&B DNA in a funky blender, instrumental rock & roll had its greatest run in the late '50s before morphing into the surf music craze of the early '60s. This generous two-disc, 51-track set collects classic tracks from that later 1960s era, including 's "40 Miles of Bad Road," ' "Beatnik Fly," ' "Walk, Don't Run," and many others (even shows up here with his version of "Calcutta"). It's fun stuff, raw and effortlessly engaging, and the perfect fuel for a long drive or an impromptu dance party. ~ Steve Leggett
