| Whoa
dad! Smell that rubber burn!! When Ronny & The Daytonas cut
“G.T.O.”—the
all-time “turn it on, wind it up, blow it out” hot rod
classic—and
an album of similar nitro-burning 1964 scorchers, it was clear
the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean had no monopoly on rubber-burning
dragstrip rock. For that matter, the Daytonas’ second LP, Sandy — named for their 1965 chart smash — proved
they took a backseat to no one when it came to lush, ocean-flecked
tales of summertime heartbreak. Songs so real you can almost hear
the screeching tires...or the squawking seagulls! |
