As you have gathered by now, that's The Ventures with special guest twangster Duane Eddy and the most totally rockin' take on the Bobby Fuller/Sonny Curtis classic "I Fought the Law" ever beheard by sentient mammalian ears.
When I originally posted about that (which derives from a 1998 Ventures album) back in 2014, I opined that it has guitar textures that wouldn't have been out of place on albums by Television, and upon relistening to it again for the first time since then I see no reason to deviate from that assessment. In any case, it totally kicks ass and some of the instrumental interplay actually gave me chills this time around.
Now please excuse me -- I'm gonna go do the research (as today's kids say) on that aforementioned Ventures CD, which I suspect will be a fruitful subject for further exploration. 😎
