All tracks are '60s style guitar instrumentals that are very similar to The Ventures' and The Fireballs' early '60s efforts. The closest rock genre is '60s surf instrumental rock without the double picking influence of Dick Dale.
Bio / Background
The Knights (A.K.A. King Richard and The Knights) original startup date was 1961 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and it was first as a guitar instrumental band. "The Fireballs and The Ventures were my inspiration" says founder and lead guitarist, Dick Stewart. "The Fireballs and especially The Ventures sparked the great guitar rock instrumental craze, and it ruled during the early '60s. The Knights along with thousands of other bands worldwide became a part of that craze."
The Knights scored a number-one regional instrumental hit on a local label (Red Feather) in early 1964 with a tune called "Precision." Says Stewart, "Dot Records in L.A. wanted it badly for national distribution. The label thought the classical piano backing of the rockin' guitars in the instro was a great hook and was convinced that it would be a smash. We were excited beyond belief and ready to sign. But a few days later, Dot heard the Beatles and told us to take a hike.
