Yeah, it might make more sense if local act Los Mel-tones! hailed from Oahu's North Shore instead of an island on the St. Lawrence, but then they'd be just another surf band vying for the gig at Jack Lord's latest soirée. Los Mel-tones! aren't exactly reinventing the genre to any new, higher degree, yet this sunburnt debut is still better than a coconut-oil high--and cheaper than airfare to the Pacific! 7/10 (Lorrie Edmonds)
"Realizing the futility of pursuing the big wave sport on a river, they decided to form a band with the aim of capturing the feeling of the power of a surging wave and the pounding surf."Quite an amazing release from this Canadian combo, sixteen original tunes full of reverb, pounding drums, and throbbing bass. From the opening riffs of Rocket Sled To Oahu to the closing chords of Astronomic you'll be taken on a journey through a land of big waves, sandy beaches, cool beverages, and plenty of reverb. (Continental #4)

The As Good as It Gets series lives up to its title, dividing early influential musical genres (gospel, country-blues, hillbilly, swing, etc.) into two-disc samplers. As Good as It Gets: Bluegrass includes 52 classic performances by the Louvin Brothers, the Stanley Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs, Bill Monroe, Rose Maddox, the Green River Boys, and Hylo Brown. While serious collectors may have a lot of this material, As Good as It Gets is a perfect place for curious listeners to begin. (Allmusic)
