Bill Justis & his Orchestra (1966)





















He's the composer of Raunchy from 1957.

Bill Justis primarily did arrangements for others like Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Charlie Rich, and not to forget about Dean Martin. Any credits to Justis on any LP gives it a go. This record serves a little bit of Rock'n Roll, some nice Tijuana style and a taste of Ramsey Lewis' In-Crowd. It's all in here: Twangy Guitars, Brass, Strings, and Voices. Friends of Phil Bodner's Brass Ring will be happy with these sounds. And the quality of the record is great.
