album review

Here's an album that shouldn't work, but somehow does in spite of the odds being stacked against it. Take what's left of the Surfaris (three original members), the drummer from the Crossfires, and a session lead guitar player who worked with them in the '60s, and record them live running through their hits and a set of appropriate covers in front of an enthusiastic crowd of car club folks. The band adds a few modern touches to their sound (electronic sax manipulations, keyboards out of Pash); some of the tunes are just played too damn fast for comfort, and Don Murray's vocals fall pretty flat in comparison to original drummer Ron Wilson's, but you can't fault the band's enthusiasm or the crowd's very real response. All reunion albums should be this much fun. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide
