Hi, any more opinions on the new Dick Dale CD? He is the King, and I love
his genre founding works: Misirlou, The Wedge, Shake & Stomp, etc, etc.
However his 90's stuff doesn't always thrill me too much, especially if
singing is involved. I usually get into probably 50% of each of his comeback
CD's. I've never seen him live, but want to. I have heard him live on the
Rendezvous Ballroom Reunion CDs. His tone and playing is still powerful, but
I was kind of dissapointed that he doesn't seem to play a whole song, just
kind of jams around. I wonder what he could do if he had a rhythm guitar
player in a more structured setting. Anyway, just wondering if the new one
is worth getting or checking out. Thanks.
I like Tribal Thunder much. And it's like mid nineties. It's got more
power and spirit than some of his earlier stuff - to me. On spacial
disorientation i hear he's doing a cover of smoke on the water.
Wouldn't like that - Dale's music's like a breakaway from everything
and that black sabbath (or status quo or whoever) just wouldnt work
for me.
Check out some of the tunes from the CD on audiogalaxy. See if you
like it or not.
