It was a Dick Dale sorta day today. Rather than dish out the ones we've all heard a zillion times, here's a few lesser know songs. (If you're a dick head, you know these.) Did you know that Hal Blaine, Glen Campbell and Leon Russell, then in the Wrecking Crew, all played on Dale's major label debut LP, King of the Surf Guitar? It was his second LP, and his first on Capitol, so, without looking it up, my guess is that the label was throwing money into their new act. None of the songs down there are from that album. The first two are from his first LP, Surfers' Choice, self-released on Del-Tone Records. "Let's Go Trippin'" and "Miserlou" are on it too. If you're going shopping, start with that one.
