 One of My Favorite Albums

| This is a shining example of classic surf guitar. The songs composed by Dale are great, but I enjoyed the covers much more. I was surprised to find a cover of Hava Nagila and I loved the fast paced rendition of (Ghost) Riders in the Sky. Pipeline features Stevie Ray Vaughn and sounds like a dual between him and Dale. The majority of the songs are instrumental except for Mr. Peppermint Man and King of the Surf Guitar, so don't expect lyrics. This is a great compilation and nice introduction to surf guitar. |

Dick Dale is often referred to as the "king of the surf guitar." And it's not hard to see why. He inspired bands like the Beach Boys and duos like Jan & Dean with his sweet surf guitar work, and it was so good, that they chose to use his legendary 'Misirlou' in the classic film 'Pulp Fiction.'
And Rhino's 'The Best of Dick Dale & His Del-Tones' spans every major piece of Dale's work. 'Misirlou,' 'Let's Go Trippin',' 'Peppermint Man' and 'Misty' are just some of the legendary songs here.
And, Rhino did a superb job (as always!) remastering the songs. In translation, the sound quality is great and is as clear as daylight!
But, my only complaint is it's just really short. I mean, if you are a Dick Dale fan or a surf guitar fan in general, than this is the Dale set to own, but why stop at just 41 minutes? They could easily fit 38 or so more minutes worth of Dale material here.
But, despite that one little flaw, this is a great collection from the "king of the surf guitar." Highly recommended for any Dale fan. A classic compilation. ENJOY!!! |

| This is a great record. Dick Dale is one of the most under-rated guitar players of all time. While it is true that he is limited in his style, his style is what it is, and what it is is very good. This album contains most of his great hits and a few gems. For your listening pleasure are some snappy hooks, tight playing, and some great, great guitar moments. I highly recommend this album to anyone who plays guitar, and if you are a young guitarist looking for some inspiration, you need look no further. This is great stuff. |

I knew of Dick Dale's more well known tunes, his first "Let's go tripping" & "Misirlou", but the lesser known tracks are quite good. It demonstrates Dale's growth from his first to the "Pipeline" remake. The tracks are pretty much layed out on chronological order, and that's good.
His style is all over this cd, no mistaking it. He's described as "High Energy", and I'm not a fan of harsh surf - some of that here, but all good.
I recommend this cd for surf tune lovers and how surf all started with Dick Dale. |
