Editorial Reviews

King of the Surf Guitar: The Best of Dick Dale is the definitive compilation of the father of surf-rock, containing 18 of his best-known songs, including all of his biggest hits ("Miserlou," "Let's Go Trippin'"), all presented in their original versions and in excellent audio. In addition to showcasing the roots of surf, King of the Surf Guitar demonstrates what a skilled and eclectic guitarist Dale was. Dale was one of the first guitarists in rock & roll to rely on studio and guitar effects and fuse elements of world musics to his sound, and every one of his experiments is captured on this disc. It's a definitive retrospective. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

July 10, 2002: The left handed, multi-talented guitarist/trumpet player shows his stuff as it was done when he and the Del-Tones were young. Dick is still playing and you may find some of his remakes of interest or even of higher quality. His new music is worth a listen.
