Jacob:
I heard "Cinnamon Girl" just last night on Alice Cooper's
FM radio show while driving around the Mojave Desert...I
thought to my self: "Man, that Cinnamon Girl" might just
make a super-cool surf tune"...all it need is the right
drums and the right lead and ryhthm tones...that song is
ripe for a reverberated re-do!
funny, i guess it's true...great minds do think alike...

DP,
I never equated Neil Young with surf -- after all, in the early '90s
he was hailed as the "Father of Grunge".
So, what exactly constitutes the "right" lead and rhythm tones? For
this tune or any tune? Would it be clean for trad surf or dirty for
punk surf?

Jonathan:
That's a good question...I guess I should have
written..."If I were to do it, I would need to find the
'right' lead and rythm tones, for me."...
I guess if you are going to re-do a tune, you should be
able to add something to it in terms of artistic
interpretation. With such a cool feedbacky-distorted tune
like 'Cinnamon Girl' it might be cool to take it in the
opposite direction (the trad "surf reverb" tones)...then
again...it might be cool to take it in an Ataris/Agent
Orange direction(punked out reverb-distortion)...or maybe
even better yet...take it in a
xylophone/vibes/Fishermen/lounge/elevator direction.
so, to answer your post, I don't really know what would be
'right'...but, it would have to be a good or better yet
GREAT tone and arrangement, because that song deserves it!
cheers,
