One of My Favorite Alubms
This is a shining example of classic surf guitar. The songs composed by Dale are great, but I enjoyed the covers much more. I was surprised to find a cover of Hava Nagila and I loved the fast paced rendition of (Ghost) Riders in the Sky. Pipeline...

Great guitar work throughout!
Dick Dale is often referred to as the "king of the surf guitar." And it's not hard to see why. He inspired bands like the Beach Boys and duos like Jan & Dean with his sweet surf guitar work, and it was so good, that they chose to use his legendary...

Twang Me!
This is a great record. Dick Dale is one of the most under-rated guitar players of all time. While it is true that he is limited in his style, his style is what it is, and what it is is very good. This album contains most of his great hits and...

Dick Dale was the Pioneer...
I knew of Dick Dale's more well known tunes, his first "Let's go tripping" & "Misirlou", but the lesser known tracks are quite good. It demonstrates Dale's growth from his first to the "Pipeline" remake. The tracks are pretty much layed out on...

Surf mandolin
Dick Dale was left-handed, yet didn't reverse the strings on his guitar. His technique is most accurately described as electrified mandolin that was augmented in 1962 with a portable Fender reverb unit. He is widely considered the father of surf...

A Great Album but not easy listening music . . . .
I am more partial to metal and hard rock, but Dick Dale is great! The first man to blow up amps and melt guitar picks. He used to start with a handful and flick them off into to audience.

DickDale-King of the Surf Guitar
Don't think Dale can play a song the same way twice. Didn't like the selection of songs nor the way they produced.

You Don't Know Dick
I've owned this particular CD for years, but I have been kind of reluctant to review it. Y'see, to me, Dick Dale is kind of like the Tao; "the Tao that is spoken about, is not the Tao..." The Dick dale that I speak about is not really Dick Dale....

It's good to be da King!
For a "Best of" this album has a fantastic track list. The sound quality is that great vintage "Pulp Fiction" surf rock sound that we have all grown to appreciate. It's a BUY even if you have just the smallest of urges to listen to what this...
