I quite like all the various types of albums Hank has released since 1969. To summarise:
1. The "Hank Marvin" album from 1969 with full orchestral backing.
2. The "The Hank Marvin Guitar Syndicate" album from 1977 with a guitar orchestra.
3. The "Words And Music" and "All Alone With Friends" albums from 1982 and 1983 respectively with primarily vocal tracks.
4. The "Into The Light", "Heartbeat", "Guitar Man", "Hank" and "Without A Word" albums from 1992, 1993, 2007, 2014 and 2017 respectively with a 'general' theme, instrumentally played.
5. The "Hank Plays Cliff" (Cliff Richard songs), "Hank Plays Holly" (Buddy Holly songs), "Hank Plays Live" (live concert), "Hank Marvin And The Shadows Play The Music Of Andrew Lloyd-Webber And Tim Rice" (compositions by Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Tim Rice) and "Marvin At The Movies" (film themes) albums from 1995, 1996, 1997, 1997 and 2000 respectively.
6. The "Guitar Player" album from 2002 with mostly acoustically played tracks.
7. The "Django's Castle" album from 2012/2014 with gypsy jazz tracks.

I'd like to see a Guitar Player 2. The first album was very impressive.

The FBI (the Federal Bureau of Investigation) is, I understand, known in the USA as 'The Feds', so perhaps Foolin' with the Feds is gypsy jazz variations on a tune we know so well?

Ray,
'Foolin' With The Feds' is indeed a gypsy jazz take on that tune we know so well as 'FBI'.
I really enjoy the CD and hope it will be available to other Hank fans soon.
Cheers,
