Dale, Dick and His Del-Tones


In the early '60s, Dick Dale was worshipped by Southern California youth culture as the founding father of surf music as well as its next-of-kin, hot-rod rock "twin-pipe genres that would reel in every kid in the world with daydreams of a street rod or a surfboard and a ride to the beach. Dale was a fretboard whiz whose heavily-reverbed Fender guitar and frenzied, string-busting attack" a sound that would forever define surf music turned exotic melodies like "Hava Nagila" into the musical equivalent of being precariously perched atop a monstrous 20-foot wave. Dale's Newport and Balboa Beach concerts were legend in greater Los Angeles, and his records would'soon influence the Beach Boys and Jimi Hendrix, among countless others.

      The one that started it all in 1962! On his debut album, Dick Dale managed to capture on tape the ferocious surf sound he was creating for over-the-top audiences at the Rendezvous Ballroom. Songs like "Let's Go Trippin,'" "Miserlu Twist" and "Surf Beat" helped define the surf genre and send untold aspiring guitarists in search of their own Stratocasters and Fender Showman amps.
