Surf Legends

From the seemingly implausible combination of death metal legend Chris Reifert (Autopsy, Death, Violation Wound, Abscess) and musician/comedian Dave Hill (Valley Lodge, Witch Taint) comes Painted Doll, a blend of hippie/psych/hard rock/prog and power pop from the duo’s shared love of 60s and early 70s music.

The enigmatic mask-wearing surf rock legends Los Straitjackets exhibit their unrivaled musicianship by showing they can cover literally any song and turn it into a surf rock classic. Here they put a spin on "Rainy Night in Georgia" by Tony Joe White (and popularized by Brook Benton).

Truckin' with Albert Collins is a 1969 Blue Thumb reissue of The Cool Sound of Albert Collins, which was originally released on TCF Hall Records in 1965. These are the earliest recordings that Collins made, and already his trademark sound is in place – his leads are stinging, piercing and direct. The album features a set of blistering instrumentals (with the exception of the vocal "Dyin' Flu") that would eventually become his signature tunes, including "Frosty" and "Frostbite." Collins doesn't just stick to blues, he adds elements of surf, rock, jazz, and R&B. These songs may not have been hits at the time, but they helped establish his reputation as the Master of the Telecaster.
