Clocking in at 30 tracks, this is a top-heavy collection of surf sides the Challengers cut for the GNP/Crescendo label. As the group never really had a hit, this is arguably all the Challengers you might ever need for the collection. But it is grade-A surf music, extremely well played with various session ringers like Hal Blaine, Jim Keltner, Steve Douglas, and Paul Johnson brought in on various numbers. ~ Cub Koda

Killer Surf: The Best Of The Challengers album
 $13.15 
Two Chantays albums on one CD, comprising much of the surf band's early '60s repertory. The "Move It" that opens the disc is not the Cliff Richard song but a slower, raunchier number with vocal choruses carrying a lot of the melody. "Maybe Baby" is the Buddy Holly song, however, and the group does a decent job of singing it. Unfortunately, ...

WRITING THE ALBUM If you were to ask Coltron James to describe the experience of writing his debut album, Tell Me Sincerely…, one word would come to his mind: “Cathartic!” Coltron began writing for Tell Me Sincerely… in August 2006. “This musical compilation is a product of emotional and spiritual unrest,” he says. “I just had a lot of questions about life, love and a lot of restlessness about the future. Taking the time to sit down and write all of my feelings has been such an emotional release for me.” “The technicalities of producing and recording Tell Me Sincerely…,” Coltron recalls, “were a creatively challenging, but rewarding, process.” He reflects, “Production can sometimes be an all-consuming thing, taking over a lot of your time and resources. But with all of these inherent stresses, I still wouldn’t trade the experience [of writing and singing] for anything.”He eulogizes his production team: “It’s all in the talent you work with,” he says. “The professionals I collaborate with have a really good ear and an innate ability to hear my ideas—as I’m able to sing and communicate them—and bring them to musical life without hurting the original integrity of the idea.”When asked how he feels about his performances, Coltron laughingly grimaces, “As many of my friends know, I’m somewhat of a perfectionist—which, if you can imagine, is good at times and bad at others. Like for example, sometimes I’ll hear one of my records one day and think my vocal mix sounds good, and then the next day hear the same mix and think, ‘Wow…this is rancid. We have to re-mix all of this’. I’m super critical of my work…often times putting up a mic in the middle of mixing session because I wasn’t happy with one of my vocal takes,” he concedes.“But despite my scrupulous self-criticism,” he grins, “I’m overall proud of my first [album] effort, and am now just looking forward to completing the writing and production of my second album.”ORIGINS Coltron describes his passion for music: “I’ve been involved in the performing arts since around the age of 10, and for some reason musical expression has always been the form of art that has, for lack of a better definition, spiritually moved me.” He adds, “For me, within music there is such an strong exchange of feeling and emotion that’s irreproducible any other way.” Coltron James was born in the sunny state of Arizona. At an early age, Coltron discovered his love for performing arts while doing independent and industry film work, making PSA’s for radio, and performing in numerous plays. As a young man, Coltron’s appreciation for music was evident. ...
