 | There aren't a lot of vocal California Sound bands that I like, but I've been a fan of The Surfin' Lungs for a long time. Amid this fine cross section of tracks from their history are two instros. |
Picks: The Godfather, Tequila Taxi
Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
This version of "The Godfather" sports thick whammy and a solid beat. It retains the sadness, but adds power and a watery feel. The dribbling double picked middle section makes you wanna order a pizza to go.
Surf (Instrumental)
"Tequila Taxi" is party number with fluid lead lines and a great beat. Nicely recorded and full of simple period energy. The guitar is strong, and the beat solid.
