The Surf Riders ten tons of wet >>> Cornells beach bound is well known
& here's a bit of a write-up on the selections that i gleaned from the internet
that i hope will help the unfamiliar with the comparision, but, i confess
i can't take credit for the comparative. Here's the selections:
Agja Ole
This is so close to "Sloop John B," that it is hard to defend it as
the original their producer claims it to be. It is spirited, infectious,
and has elements of exotica in it. It's a nice track. "Agja Ole" was
originally titled "Aqua Caliente" on the Cornells' release.
Ten Tons of Wet
Folk Exotica Instrumental "Ten Tons Of Wet" Opening with a whammy
chord, this is a dry surf number, among the surfiest on the album. It's rhythm
and riff orientation, accented by a wailin' sax break is prototypical surf single fare.
A nice track. "Ten Tons Of Wet" is a retitled "Beachbound."
Caravan
Surf Instrumental Stereo "Caravan" Duke Ellington's famous pre-exotica
masterpiece is rearranged into a semi surf, highly rhythmic track that is sax led,
and infectious. It's energy carries it. This cool track has a similar feel to the
Royal Tones' "Flamingo Express."
Miserlou
Surf Instrumental "Miserlou" Obligatory surf track, relatively low energy,
like a subdued Challengers rendition. Precise enough, just not very intense,
and definitely pedestrian as "Miserlou's" go.
Night Train
Surf Instrumental Stereo "Night Train" Another R&B classic, with none of the flair
and energy of James Brown and his Famous Flames or Paul Revere and the Raiders,
and minus the style of Rhythm Rockers or the Merced Bluenotes. Basic dance club fare.
Ridding the Curl
R&B Instrumental "Ridding [sic] The Curl" "Ridding [sic] The Curl"
("Riding The Curl") is an instrumentalization of the Pastel Six's hit record dedicated
to the club where they were the house band. The only nifty part is the dual horn
harmony. Otherwise, it's just high school hop fare.
Detour
Club Instrumental "Detour" This is the Duane Eddy hit, nicely done, but not arranged
in a way that makes it unique.
Loop
Rock Instrumental "Loop" The heavily damped lead guitar without reverb
and a softly played backtrack yields a seriously R&B flavored number that
only suggests the surf genre. It's a nice tune, but not very surfy. Sure,
some of the elements are there, but the overall impression is an R&B band
naming their instro surf to cash in. "Loop" is a retitling of the Cornells' "Malibu Surf."
Hash Board
R&B Instrumental Stereo "Hashboard" This is "Deep In The Heart Of Texas,"
fit into their surf sound category. It was common in those early days to take
super familiar standards like "Little Brown Jug," and surf them up. This is
actually one of their best tracks, sporting more energy and fun than most.
"Hash Board" was also "Lone Star Stomp" on the Cornells' LP.
Surf Time
Surf Instrumental Stereo "Surf Time" This shows the Pacific Northwest influences
on the band quite well, though the sound is a more subdued dry LA sound.
The original Wailers tune sports more tension. This version sports a more relaxed
jamming feel, with handclaps throughout.
The Long Ride In
Pacific Northwest Rock Instrumental Stereo "The Long Ride In" This is pure
R&B instro jam fare, more tilted towards the Pacific Northwest sound of the
Viceroys than the LA sound of surf. It's also not very interesting, being quite derivative.
"The Long Ride In" is also called "Stompin' After Five."
Joe the Hype
R&B Instrumental "Joe The Hype" Like almost all covers of Joe Saraceno's forties
style studio instro "Surfer's Stomp," this is a straight copy, with nothing new
happening at all. MOR Instrumental
