Blown Out & Glassy

Would you believe "The King of Surf Guitar" comes from Boston Harbor? A place with plenty of water & not a decent curl in sight.

Dick Dale's musical influences come from a rather unconventional mix of sounds, including crashing waves, wild animal roars and folk songs from decades prior. Its from these sounds that he's crafted some of his most popular songs, many of which can be found on his new compilation album, Guitar Legend: The Very Best Of Dick Dale.
