Jon & The Nightriders "Surf Beat '80" 1980

"I strived for a sound that made people want to dance their brains out" - Dick Dale, Balboa, California
Although probably still in nursery school when guitar instrumentals last filled the American record charts, Southern California twang-bar king John Blair and his three cohorts brilliantly re-create the innocence and excitement of that long-lost genre. With resplendent, ringing tones, vibrato and mountains of reverb, Surf Beat '80 pays homage with 14 numbers, including a few soundalike originals and a selection of covers that proves the band's dedication to — and familiarity with — their forebears. All of the tracks sound the same, but that's the idea. Great!
