Journey back to the dawn of British instrumental rock with The Outlaws and Dream Of The West, the 1961 album recorded by legendary producer Joe Meek's own house band. Reissued as a 12-track 10-inch LP, this collection brings together twangy guitars, cinematic Western melodies and the unmistakable atmosphere of early-1960s British instrumental music.
From the dramatic title track and “The Outlaws” to “Husky Team”, “Rodeo”, “Smoke Signals” and “Ambush”, the album evokes dusty trails, open plains and widescreen Western adventures through instrumental rock ’n’ roll. The second side continues with “Barbecue”, “Indian Brave”, “Homeward Bound” and “Western Sunset”. Most excitingly, this edition presents the recordings in wide stereo for the first time, offering a fresh perspective on a classic Joe Meek production.
An essential release for fans of early-1960s instrumentals, vintage guitar sounds and Joe Meek's pioneering studio work, Dream Of The West is a fascinating piece of British music history. Whether you're a dedicated Meek collector or simply love the twang and drama of classic instrumental rock, this 10-inch reissue deserves a place in your collection.
