Self-described as Rock & Roll with lots of words, The Ventures comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. This is one of the best Cd’s The Ventures has dropped to date. Since completing 1964’s ‘The House Of The Rising Sun’, The Ventures fulfilled their contract with Capitol Records and where under no obligation to release another album. I wish that “Walk Don’t Run Volume II” album was instrumental.
Diamond Head make listening to The Ventures like being in some sort of time warp. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Peach Fuzz is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Blue Star is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Walk Don’t Run Volume II. This song may be the most meaningful. Night Walk is pretty funky and mellow. One Mint Julep (2:19) a good melody. Pedal Pusher still maintains something of a specific flourish. The sound in The Creeper is really warm and The Ventures’s signature voice is still very much present. Such hits like Stranger On The Shore will leave you hooked.
