The+ventures

2008 two CD set from the guitar heroes. What better way to celebrate The Ventures' 50th year in the music business than with this fantastic 50 track collection, which includes many of the finest recordings from the world's biggest selling and most successful instrumental Rock group of all time. This set contains all of their hits including 'Walk Don't Run', 'Perfidia', 'Ram-Bunk-Shush' and 'Lullaby of the Leaves' as well as some amazing covers of 'Delilah', 'Mission Impossible', 'Fever', 'La Bamba', 'Jambalaya' and classic Beatles songs 'Eleanor Rigby', 'I Feel Fine', 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'Hey Jude'. To cap off their wonderful career, on March 10, 2008 The Ventures celebrated their Golden Anniversary by joining their early guitar idols Chet Atkins, Duane Eddy and Les Paul in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

Conceptual themes aside, the album featured more of the group's recognizable instrumental rock & roll, surf rock, and country twang.

Fans of this group will want to know about the cover art, in this case a photo of a blonde tossing her hair around. Is she supposed to be Southern? That would tie in with what seems to be the theme of the "More Memphis" subtitle of this disc…
