Negative Positive
Title: Classical, Jazz & Exotic "Surf" Guitar
Review: This is NOT your "typical" surf guitar album. Teisco Del Rey plays such a variety of styles over 13 songs he almost defies categorization. Highlights include "Seville" (as in, "Barber of..."), "Twango", "Steel Trap", "Lawrence Of Arabia" (for those who love movie themes done surf-style) and "Werewolf" (though I think Eddie Angel's version beats this by a few hairs-- ouch!). There's a sense of humor to go with the immense talent on display, as heard in "The Madison Time" (is it an in-joke I'm not getting, or just an obscure tribute to The Bonzo Dog Band's "The Intro And The Outro"?) and seen in the 3 cover photos that form a silent photo-comic strip of sorts. Has he REALLY only done 2 albums so far? Not to be missed!
Is the review positive or negative?
