Dave Crimmen, Johnny Rocker (Soundtrack) Oct.2001

Dave Crimmen is a local (San Jose) rockabilly artist with two excellent CD's under his belt and a third in the works. His latest is currently (August 2001) challenging the likes of REM for initial airtime at some college stations. He has the opportunity to provide some music for a film in the works called Johnny Rocker. "Del Monico's Theme" was recorded for that project. It may never be released but it merits review and exposure.

"Del Monico's Theme" Surf Instrumental Stereo

The traditional "Walk Don't Run" drums and the walking rockabilly upright bass support a simple and exceptionally good guitar line, with rich whammy, vibrato, an adventurous island feel, and crisp energy. This is a highly infectious tune that bears multiple listenings. This is a really interesting track, well written, well played, and fresh.

Dave Crimmen, Where He Left Off 1997

Dave Crimmen is a local rockabilly artist that is beginning to make quite a splash. This is his second CD release, and it's packed with tuff tunes, great ballads, and one fine rockin' instro.

"Rockabilly Rave" Rockabilly Instrumental Stereo

This instro employs a time tested guitar lick and great piano. Totally infectious rhythm and fire, with great big twang and tuff walking upright bass. Simply cool.
