My Cup of TeaExpecting surf music from Hank Marvin, or the Shads (see previous review) is like asking De Niro to play a role made for Steven Segal. I mean they are both great in their respective craft, but can't really substitute for each other. Same here: If you're after surf instrumentals with all their raw beauty get any of the 100+ available Ventures titles. If on the other hand you like brilliant, relaxed guitar work then Hank and the lads deliver 1,000%. This compilation is a great cross section of bot…

If on the other hand you like brilliant, relaxed guitar work then Hank and the lads deliver 1,000%. This compilation is a great cross section of both the group catalog (on disc 1) and Hank's later solo work (on disc 2), and is a worthy addition to any instrumental music collection.

Not My Cup of TeaI caught a few songs by Marvin on cable and wanted to hear more. I'm a baby-boomer who loves surf guitar and who has a soft spot in his heart for instrumentals. Unfortunately, this compilation was unfulfilling more applicable as elevator music than serious ear candy. While technically proficient, the music is painfully lacking in flair and innovation.
