oh, Yeah!! I think he could start a whole new surf wave if he
returned to older structured style of playing. Imagine Dick Dale
with Brian Setzers horns, and a good two guitar rhythm section.
awesome! I think it would be amazing to hear real live versions of
his band in the early sixties. I see pics of all the players he
had, and think his "new" sound has to be missing something. It had
to be quite an experience hearing all those instruments play those
powerful songs. I listen to new versions by him of old songs, and
think they aren't quite as good as the originals. One of my
favorite D.D. songs is the original version of "The Wedge" called "A
Run for Life" there are so many cool thinks going on on that song.
The haunting vocal backing, the cool horns, the
accoustic "Shadows" rhythm guitar. It might be my favorite all
time surf song!
I think one instrument that is overlooked on some of those early
surf records is the trumpet. I sax is cool, but a full horn
section is REALLY cool! Alto and baritone (?) sax, and a trumpet.
awesome!
