Encore was the second album from instrumental duo, the brothers Santo & Johnny who are best remembered for the innovative use of steel guitar, backed by rhythm guitar. (US:11)
“These two guys, the brothers Santo (steel guitar) and Johnny Farina (rhythm guitar) had a unique sound back in my high school years that lingers today in my memories. These guys are definitely part of guitar history. My personal favourite Alabamy Bound from the Encore album. This is a can't miss treat.”
“Santo and Johnny were great musicians in their day. The sound is very good and very enjoyable. Buy this LP if you want to hear them again or have never heard them. You won't go wrong.”
“I really love listening to these guys play their guitars. I wish that their music was played more often.”
“From the first reverb filled note, you will be yanked back to a simpler musical time that catches this wonderful duo before the surf era.”
“A great dynamic duo from the 1950s popularly known for their use of steel guitar, with dreamy tunes like Teardrop and Venus."
“This duo had a sound that is hard to come by anymore. The simple way they make the music sing in awesome.”
“Normally we would associate steel guitar with country music, but this is far from it. It's easy listening. The music appeals to all ages. Some of you will discover a new (old) sound while others like me will relive some of the best instrumental music of the 60s.”
“You rarely hear this music now except on movie soundtracks. I love this and have played it many times, and never tire of their artistry or sound.”
