Dick Dale/Del-Tones "Greatest Hits 1961-1976"

"Greatest Hits 1961-1976" features an exciting and memorable collection of surf guitar king Dick Dale's music recorded from 1961 through 1976. In the words of Dale, "My music is more native than intricate or technical. It's a sexual sensual drive...that low rumbling sound, when I started surfing, you'd hear this neat rumbling sound when you take off and go for the drop and when the wave is lipping over the top of you it makes this hissing sound...and that's what the intermittent squeals on the top that I do with my guitar. The music is a collective togetherness between the ocean's power, the animal power, and the human power that we have inside our abdomen."
