Product Information
14 sizzlin' surf guitar cuts recorded at the crest of the genre! Brothers Richard and Thomas Frost, more known for their work as Powder, shred through these surf-rockin' standards - all tucked away until now! Turning in a smoking rendition of studio guitarist Jan Davis' "The Fugitive," later covered by the Ventures (and much later, Laika & the Cosmonauts), they also lay down a hot version of "Opus Twist" - also by way of the Ventures, written by Tommy Allsup and J.I. Allison of the Crickets. Three other instrumentals came from the Let's Hide Away & Dance Away With Freddy King album: "San-Ho-Zay," "Just Pickin'," and "Sen-Sa-Shun." He delivers a lovely "Sleep Walk" sans Santo & Johnny's steel guitar, and converts pianist Floyd Cramer's "Last Date" to guitar. Balancing out the program are live tracks from Big Al's Gas House in neighboring Belmont, showing the emergence of British Invasion along with credible renditions of R&B warhorses "Linda Lu" and "Come On." "Route 66" is obviously the Stones version, with Rich playing the Keith Richards guitar solo - "and 'Roll Over Beethoven,' you could tell it was the Beatles' version because my guitar licks are George Harrison." Vividly illustrating the band's meld of R&B and surf are the two versions of "San-Ho-Zay" - the relaxed groove in the bedroom versus the furious live rave. Lord knows what's going on in "The Fight" - a typical set-opening/closing riff breaking up a brawl?Though they never released even a 45, these live cuts and "Bedroom Tapes" prove without a doubt that they'd have been up to the task had the opportunity presented itself.
