Check out the last part of the Mercenary Rides Alone Into the Sunset. We also have another song named El Capitan that features trumpet. |

http://www.oharas.be/ I also like "hang 'em high" in the version of Los Plantronics, which has pretty good trumpets. It's on "Columbian Necktie" WR —Rules to live by #314: |

My favorite surf style song with horns is Exotic by the Rhythm Kings. 2 trumpets play the lead melody sort of like an old Skatalites song, but the rhythm section is all 1964 surf band with a killer guitar break in the middle. I found a copy of it on a music service called Rhapsody, that allows 25 free downloads a month. You have to download their player though. Here it is if you're interested: http://www.rhapsody.com/album/surfcrazyoriginalsurfinhits —Danny Snyder Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |

I have always loved the trumpet in the song "Big Sky" by the Sandblasters (from Cactus Stingray). It lends to the 'ridin' the open range' feel that the song has. Also, the band 'Herb' does a fun cover (trumpets and all) of Herb Alpert's "The Work Song" on the "Surfin' Senorita" CD (from Wildebeest). —Jet Sterling, Cosmic Spy |

The Sandblasters also throw trumpet nicely into "Tarantula Taco" on the album Space Bar-B-Q as do the Woodies on "Spanish Word" (from Swimmin' in the Reverb.) It works really well in both of them. |

One of my all-time favorites along this line is "Hara Sutra" by the Belgian band The O'Haras. Great trumpet with that cool bullfight thing going on. You can check it out for free, from their label, here: http://www.twinstreet-bookings.com/mp3/the%20o'haras%20hara%20sutra.mp3 (Sorry, looks like you will have to copy and paste the entire URL into your browser address bar.) These guys are really something. Right on the edge, you can just tell. — |

Yes, I wanted to reccomend that one, but was too lazy to look up the exact song name. Thanks for posting this. Ran — |
