Track by Track Review
Rockabilly (Instrumental)
This is a big edgy guitar instro in the Link Wray mold. Exotic percussion, big twang, and silly lyrical adders that give it a vintage feel. Very fun!
Surf (Instrumental)
Talk about uplifting bounce. Los Derrumbes pump and grin thru "Viva Las Vegas" as if the are on their way to the slots right now. Great energy and spirit!
Rock (Instrumental)
"Persuasion" is a primal rocker with a fifties feel and lots of energy. Nice sax work and cool period guitar.
Tequila!
Surf (Instrumental)
Jason And The Retronauts do basic rock'n'roll as if it was their own invention. The often-covered "Tequila!" is very close to the Champs' original, with the addition of organ. Thoroughly party-epic fun.
