The Blood & Bath CD Review

Review of Fuzz For The Holidays by Davie Allan & The Arrows

Okay folks, as you all know I’m a sworn enemy of spam and people on soapboxes; however, there’s a nearly forgotten legendary guitar genius out there that’s having a hard time getting well deserved marketing for his newest CD. I am of course talking about Davie Allan & The Arrows and their CD, Fuzz For The Holidays.

If you’ve never heard of Davie Allan then it’s time for all of you to wake up and hear the fuzz. Davie Allan’s guitar playing can best be described as a blend of Link Wray, Dick Dale, and Jimi Hendrix all rolled up into one smokin’ fuzz drenched joint.

Released back in 2004, Fuzz For The Holidays has never received the proper marketing it deserves. The CD was produced by Little Steven (of Little Steven’s Underground Garage fame), but unfortunately Little Steven has been jerking Davie Allan around for a couple of years now and I’ve decided to come to Davie’s rescue because I know all of you out there know that I don’t listen to just any crap that gets put on a CD.

By now you’re all probably thinking “Wait a minute, Tracy hates Christmas, Christmas music, and well pretty much everything in general. Why all of a sudden is he trying to push this on us?” Well folks, here’s the story…

Davie Allan & The Arrows started out way back in 1964. You know all those really awful biker movies that were done back in the ‘60s? Well chances are that’s Davie Allan & The Arrows you hear playing in the background. His music has been used in the soundtracks to nearly two dozen movies. Their more recent CDs include The Arrow Dynamic Sounds Of Davie Allan & The Arrows; Fuzz Fest; Loud, Loose, And Savage; Live Run; Restless In L.A.; and an anthology of all their music from the ‘60s. The music is some of the most hard driving, energetic sounds I’ve ever heard.

But how could a band like that release a CD of Christmas music? Well let me tell you folks, Fuzz For The Holidays is the perfect CD for anybody that absolutely HATES Christmas music. Davie Allan has taken all those holiday classics and put the FUN back into them! And none of that annoying singing either, this CD is all super charged, energetic, balls to the walls instrumental and it absolutely kicks ass!

Trust me on this one folks, BUY THIS CD!!! You will not be sorry! Fuzz For The Holidays is supposed to be available in all Best Buy stores around the country in the Little Steven’s Underground Garage section, but reports have been coming in that many of the Best Buy stores either don’t have it, or the employees don’t know their asses from their elbows and shouldn’t even be employed in the first place.

If you can’t find Fuzz For The Holidays at Best Buy then Davie Allan can do you one better. Just go to his web page at http://www.davieallan.com/ and you can buy many of Davie’s CDs directly from there. And Davie Allan personally autographs every CD sold from his web page. He also promptly answers his e-mails. Davie Allan & The Arrows are a class act, and if you happen to be in a band or think you can call yourself a musician, then you need to hear the music of Davie Allan & The Arrows; you will be humbled.
