Named after their leader Jan-Olof Eriksson, Joe’s Combo have been missing from our
pages for too long. Their last release was Time Out With Joe’s Combo on the Triola
label which Dave reviewed back in Pipeline 24 - some six years ago. I believe that
one’s still available and fortunately its predecessor, Portrait, has all six of
its tracks included here.
Do It With Joe’s Combo confirms the classy, skilful approach that so impressed us
right from the outset. The variety of material shows their many influences, the
greatest being The Shadows. Strangely it’s the sheer range of material which allows
a parallel to be drawn with the Shads’ ’60s albums, plus of course the quality of
their performances. Actual Shadows covers are limited to just three. Brian Bennett’s
Pulaski was definitely a highlight of the ’80s and Joe’s Combo capture its feel
and dynamics perfectly. Going Home is a fine cover and Tomorrow’s Cancelled is
quite uncannily spot on. Appeal will be much whilst Shadows fans will love this
CD because of the group’s background, its broader The Cliffters’ classic.
Bert Weedon’s excellent rocker Ghost Train never sounded better and Django is as
catchily melodic and sprightly as everof Stanley Myers’. Portrait is a beautiful
reading theme while Night Train rocks smoothly with just sufficient edge to
make it interesting.
The originals come from guitarists Jan-Olof Eriksson and KG Johansson. There are
richly twanged Marvin-style beat ballads such as Thank You LM and Catalina Island,
slower HBM Fender melodies like Carolina’s Theme, Blue Dreams and I’m Sorry, plus
the Shadoogie guitar beat of Tramino Boogie. There’s a tip of the hat to the Euro
echo sound on Twist Around The Strings, and those great galloping ’60s guitar
singles are recalled on Western Sun.
Like Night Train, the title track is more of an American-styled rocker from
The Ventures early period. Theme From Another Imaginary Western successfully mines
the spagwest seam while Surfbored melds several surf trademarks into a rich
medium-paced rocker. If you’re after a guitar album of variety and guaranteed quality then look
no further. Go Do It with Joe’s Combo!
