Synopsis

Album Description

As fast as surf-guitar innovator Dick Dale blazes his way through searing versions of "Hava Nagila" and "Riders in the Sky" on King of the Surf Guitar, his terrific 1963 Capitol Records debut album, any doubts that Dale could duplicate the frenzied attack of his previous LP, the wildly successful Surfers' Choice, are completely erased. Whatever style of music -- R&B, folk or pop -- Dale tosses into his sharp-bladed, slice 'n' dice music machine, it comes out pure surf, absolutely smoking-hot and the perfect accompaniment to your next beach-side stomp and frug session.

"This is surf guitar at its finest. How wonderful it is that these Dick Dale classic early recordings are finally out on CD. Thanks to whoever made this possible. I was about to start collecting them on vinyl when I checked one more time for a CD release and here they are!

This recording is pure fun and energy from start to finish, and the rendition of "What'd I Say" is alone worth the price of admission. Surf's up!"
