About this album

Shadow Music is a polished and inventive 1966 album that shows The Shadows stretching their instrumental pop-rock formula with confidence. Best known as Cliff Richard’s former backing group, the band had long established themselves as masters of British guitar-led melody, and this set underlines how effectively they could stand alone. Built around clean lead lines, tight arrangements and the group’s unmistakable blend of twang and polish, the album balances original material with well-chosen covers such as I Only Want To Be With You and Fly Me To The Moon. It captures a veteran group still sounding agile, distinctive and commercially sharp in the mid-1960s.
