FUN IN THE SUN FOR SURF MUSIC ENTHUSIASTS:
Possessing excellent sound quality, "As Easy As 123 (Popsicle/The Little Old Lady From Pasedena/Drag City) by Jan & Dean" creates little doubt that the famous duo had a major influence on surf music. For those of us who lived through the sixties, Jan & Dean were second only to The Beach Boys in surf popularity. The songs on this CD demonstrate that J & D had some very fine musicians playing behind them. The music really does come alive here. Very exciting stuff!! However, be prepared to hear Jan and Dean's vocals sound somewhat out of key. The excellent stereo sound does exploit the fact that their harmonies (even with Brian Wilson's occasional help) never seem completely true. About the only positive thing that can be said about their original Mono records is that many of the vocal issues were hidden. But cheer on surf dudes, this CD also captures the fun that J & D had in creating their songs. FUN,FUN, FUN ALL WAY!!
