“The JET Age” Features the “speedpicking” of Julian E. Tharpe on Steel Guitar. Midland Records. This was recorded at the Johnny Cash Studio in Hendersonville, TN. The Alabama Steel Guitar Association inducted Julian Tharpe into The Alabama Steel Guitar Association Hall Of Fame on February 26th, 2006 at The Hank Williams Museum, Montgomery Al. But it’s the crazy, DIY art on this relic from the early Seventies that speaks to me.

“Panic The Son of Shock” The Creed Taylor Orchestra (1959) The follow up to “Shock” (1958) also by big screen composer Kenyon Hopkins. A series of short stories with weird music, scarey sound effects and a jazzy beat including “Out of this World”, “The Prison Break,” “Rain,” “The Operation.”
According to an interview with record collector Mickey McGowan for Re/Search Magazine’s Incredibly Strange Music issue, Volume 1, “The Creed Taylor Orchestra made SHOCK Music in Hi-Fi, which bore a warning, “Don’t dare listen to his music alone!” It’s a masterpiece from the beginning, starting with loud heartbeats. “The Crank” effectively conveys the fear which a crank phone call can inspire. “The Secret” features a man and a woman laughing conspiratorily, and raises the question: “Is a secret still a secret once it’s told.” Creed Taylor’s follow-up album was Panic: the Son of Shock. Both of these LPs should also be credited to the film composer KENYON HOPKINS….You hear heavy breathing, whispering, clapping, heartbeats, shudders, screams – a whole gamut of effects. – From a neat site called Movie Morlocks.
