Amazing Songs & Other Delights #21 The They Play a Strat, So Does Carlos edition can now be listening to on Yé Yé's mixcloud. Carlos Fortes (Mão Morta/Um Zero Amarelo) and I selected 18 songs played/written with a Stratocaster or predominantly played/written with one, including two of his – Ventos Animais and Anjos Marotos by Mão Morta - Carlos picked the first, I the second. The They Play a Strat, So Does Carlos edition is a twin show with Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 20 - The They Play a Telecaster, So Does Carlos edition (also on mixcloud). The Stratocaster was given its name in 1953 and was introduced in 1954. It differs from his elder sister, the Telecaster in a number of ways, like its three pickups. Songs wise there is a joint choice, The Shadows’ Apache with Hank Marvin on the Strat. Songs in which the guitarist isn’t usually associated with a Strat – Bernard Butler, Noel Gallagher and a number of songs with more or less proper Strat men and women. The trackist below offers more details on players and guitars and who picked which songs.
