Surfin' The Great Lakes: Kay Bank Studio Surf Sides Of The 1960s

Sundazed

Board bustin' banshees from landlocked America! Surfin' The Great Lakes takes a largely instrumental spin through surf rock and surf-themed gems. From the twistin' twitcher Trashmen, stripped down Chuck Berry covers, Mancini jams cut by The Mustangs, to The Satisfactions doing their take on a Beach Boys B-side! This sonic tsunami of West Coast surf and R&B music floated below sea level for over 50 years... Until now! This compilation showcases the best of what Kay Bank had to offer. Surf's up!
