Capsule review: Dick Dale - King of the surf guitar. The best of Dick Dale & his Del-Tones (1961-64 mostly, 1989 released)


Mostly from his 1961-64 heyday, except for two 1980s completist tracks (one with Stevie Ray Vaughn of course - only one? You're holding out on us, Rhino).
Surf music was always more whistle stop than destination in the grand scheme. Its promise of leading us straight from pre-British Invasion to No Wave never materialised. Dick Dale had a fierce template and over 16 tracks he explores each and every one of its possible variations.
