The album underscores a crucial historical reality: The Shadows were not just a backing band for Cliff Richard; they were the first real "guitar band" in the UK. The 2021 tribute reinforces this by treating the instrumental tracks as serious jazz or classical compositions. It is a useful educational tool for younger guitarists who may overlook the technical difficulty of playing with such cleanliness and precision. In an era of high-gain amps and digital effects, Twang reminds us of the difficulty and beauty of playing "clean."

The album is renowned for its diverse lineup of legendary guitarists, each offering a unique interpretation of classic Shadows instrumentals. Hank Marvin: Shadows and Strats, Part One - by Dan Epstein
