Title: It's All About the Music
Review: Although Morris isn't much of a vocalist, his instrumentation and arrangements make this collection a worthwhile purchase. 'Flight School' is a dynamic example of standard surf double-picking played in the lower range, and 'Pipeline' adds just the right degree of individual flare while retaining the intrinsic appeal of the Chantays original. A pleasant suprise (one I thought I'd never see) was finding a superb rendition of the Virtues 1959 hit 'Guitar Boogie Shuffle', here entitled 'Arthur's Boogie'. Morris made an excellent choice in selecting the R&B classic 'I Only Have Eyes For You' to add a touch of romantic melancholia to the mix. Finally, the slide guitar and minimal lyrics on the final number, 'Stop Teasing Me', make this tune invigorating. I first heard this band on an internet radio surf channel. In fact, the Danny Morris reportoire is a moderately successful mixed-bag of pop with surf leanings.
