Singer-songwriter Dion DiMucci rose to fame as a '60s teen idol with his band the Belmonts, topping the charts with such hits as "The Wanderer" and "I Wonder Why."

The latest venture in his long career is the collection of covers called Heroes: Giants Of Early Guitar Rock. Hear Dion play covers and some his classic tunes in the studio.

The album salutes artists Dion considers seminal to the genre, such as Elvis Presley, Richie Valens and Buddy Holly.

Dion's recent solo albums include the 2006 release Bronx in Blue, which earned him a Grammy nomination, and the follow-up album Son of Skip James. Both discs took Dion in a new direction as he adopted a more bluesy, country-influenced sound.

He's hoping that young guitarist will hear this CD and look for more info/recordings of guitarists like Cliff Gallup, James Burton and Scotty Moore.

Dion and guitarist/guitar maker, Bob 'Crow' Richardson capture the tone of the original versions. If you play guitar, you will appreciate the 'tone' of the CD.

Plus, the 45min DVD is worth the cost of the combo. Dion talks about each track on the CD and why he decided to record the track. His stories about Carl Perkins, Bo Diddly, Buddy Holly and others is just entertaining.

You must hear his account of that fateful night 'when the music died' and how he felt.

Bob 'Crow' Richardson also shows fingering on the fretboard and talks a little about recording the tracks.
