The first images you think of when you hear Dave Loveland’s music are the peaceful vibes of the breezy guitar instrumental music from way back in the 1960s. Those sounds will surely remind listeners of the innocence of American groups like The Ventures and the iconic Duane Eddy and, from over in England, The Shadows. In fact, back in the 1960s, Dave Loveland was a member of several instrumental guitar bands in his native England. Leaving England and emigrating to Australia in 1976, Dave carved out a career as a musician and music teacher in the land Downunder.

Dave’s long awaited solo album, Dangerous Rhythm is a superb return to form and a very easy on the ears set of guitar instrumentals that will surely inspire the listener with an array of electric guitar influences like Hank Marvin of the Shadows and country jazz guitar legend Chet Atkins to name a couple greats from the golden era of the guitar. Drawing on his repertoire of 400 originals, Dave selected a dozen Loveland classics for Dangerous Rhythm. Highlights abound with killer tracks like “Peruvian Strut”, “I Never Thought This”, “Blue Horizon” as well as the fantastic lead-off title track “Dangerous Rhythm”.

Released on CD in 2022, Dangerous Rhythm is an elegant and breezy sounding showcase for Dave Loveland’s memorable instrumental compositions and his dazzling guitar style. On the album, Dave also receives some fleet-fingered assistance from his two sons Toby Loveland (acoustic rhythm guitar and acoustic solos) and Barney Loveland (bass). Music fans tuned into the Australian influence on the contemporary global instrumental pop-rock genre will totally bask in the glow of Dave Loveland’s Dangerous Rhythm.
