Davie Allan & the Arrows - 1967 - Blues Theme
Davie Allan is a guitarist best known for his work on soundtracks to various teen and biker movies in the 1960s. Allan's backing band is almost always the Arrows, although the Arrows have never been a stable lineup. When Mike Curb of Sidewalk Records assigned soundtrack duties for biker film The Wild Angels to Allan and the Arrows, it would prove a breakthrough success. The song from the film's opening, "Blues' Theme”, an aggressive, repetitive and very catchy instrumental showcasing Allan's new fuzzed-out (heavily distorted) guitar sound became their biggest hit. The song stayed on the Billboard charts for 17 weeks (it peaked at #37); the single, backed with "Bongo Party,” and the soundtrack album both sold well. 01 - Blues Theme 02 - King Fuzz 03 - Theme From Thunderball 04 - William Tell 1967 05 - Action On The Street 06 - Theme From The Wild Angels 07 - Theme From The Unknown 08 - Fuzz Theme 09 - Sorry 'bout That 10 - Ghost Riders In The Sky LINK
