Rhino Records releases a set of CDs in 1994, "Rock Instrumental Classics" volumes 1-5. I only have volume 5, "Surf," but volume 1 "The Fifties" and volume 2 "The '60s" looks like they might be interesting. The track lists have some bands people already mentioned. The Fireballs with "Bulldog", Duane Eddy, Link Wray, Sandy Nelson. Does anyone have these CDs and can comment if there were any songs that would have big influences on surf? -Darren |

This is a very odd thing to say. No one suggested limiting themselves to pre-surf, they were just interested in exploring it further. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

If you put it that way: I care. As a boy I was fascinated with theme tunes from films, television and radio. I loved the music of Henry Mancini, Ennio Morricone and even Mantovani. It got me into the most wonderful melodies that painted vivid images in sound. Surf for me is a logical next step since I learned to play the guitar, so yes, I care. I love Apache and Bombora, even after hearing it a hundred times. Because to me it is the link to the music I learned to love as a boy. I enjoy reading all the posts and responses on SG101, because I have the feeling I'm among friends who more or less share the same background. But I agree with Brian, we shouldn't have to use strong expressions to get our point across. You're among friends, it's ok to have a different opinion. We have our own. |

Up here in Canada we had our own Duane Eddy. His name was Kenny Hepburn and he released an album called Twangy Guitar. I'm not aure if this was released in the pre-surf era, but the sound certainly is. Collector records released 4 volumes of early Canadian Rockers that are mostly pre-surf. There are a lot of cool tracks on those releases. Ken Davidson (who settled in Nova Scotia) also released some pretty cool instros including Teenage Walk, and Twist Man Easy. http://nsclassicrock.8m.com/kendavidson.html Rev —Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Last edited: Feb 18, 2016 16:34:52 |
