EXTD=RT REVIEW: Jan & Dean's second original Liberty LP is a musical t
EXTD=ravelogue of the United States that didn't seem too inspired as a
EXTD= concept even in 1963 -- although one has to wonder if the travel

EXTD=on for "California Girls," for which he simply devised a shorter,
EXTD= more attractive "map." The album is worth hearing just for the l
EXTD=ead guitar (is it Glen Campbell, Bill Pitman, Billy Strange, or T
EXTD=ommy Tedesco?) on the cover of Chuck Berry's "Memphis." Little of
EXTD= the rest, apart from the title track and the subsequent hit "Hon
EXTD=olulu Lulu," matches that high standard, but there is something t
EXTD=o recommend almost all of it -- solid rocking renditions of "Kans
EXTD=as City" and "Tallahassee Lassie," a passable "You Came a Long Wa
EXTD=y From St. Louis" and "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans," all stand
EXTD= out as standards worth the listening. There's also some surreal 
EXTD=material here, such as the rock & roll version of Richard Rodgers
EXTD=' and Lorenz Hart's "Manhattan," with Hal Blaine kicking the hell
EXTD= out of his drum kit while the horns honk along behind the harmon
EXTD=izing -- it doesn't become another "Blue Moon," try as they might
EXTD=; and "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," which is nearly as biza
EXTD=rre. Among the more appealing oddities is the beautifully sung "P
EXTD=hiladelphia, PA," a tribute to that city's musical virtues, inclu
EXTD=ding Dick Clark, Danny & the Juniors, Chubby Checker, et al. (the

EXTD= flies doing in here?, March 18, 2006 \nBy  Johnny Heering "trivi
EXTD=a buff" (Bethel, CT United States)\nSurf City features the title 
EXTD=smash, plus songs about other swingin' cities. Almost all of the 
EXTD=songs are covers of other performer's songs, other than the hits 
EXTD="Surf City" and "Honolulu Lulu". "Philadelphia, PA" (a song about
EXTD= American Bandstand)may be a Jan & Dean original, but I'm not sur
EXTD=e, because the CD has no songwriting credits. Most of the cover s
EXTD=ongs are decent, but nothing special. \n\nFolk 'n Roll features a
EXTD=bout half original material and half covers of recent hits. "I Fo
EXTD=und a Girl" is the only hit song on the album. "Folk City" was al
EXTD=so released as a single, but it bombed. Believe it or not, it is 
EXTD=a parody of Jan & Dean's own "Surf City". "Universal Coward" was 
EXTD=released as a Jan solo single, which also flopped. It is a parody
EXTD= of anti-Vietnam War protest songs, and it seems to be pro-Vietna
EXTD=m War, oddly enough (unless they are joking). As for the covers, 
EXTD="Hang On Sloopy" is goofy fun, but their covers of folk songs don
EXTD='t quite work. \n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW (One Way Records

EXTD=ly 12, 2001 \nBy  Ronald George Reagan (Steele, MO)\n\nThis is a 
EXTD=must have. Underline "MUST HAVE"!!!!! While containing only one b
EXTD=ig hit "Surf City", the album is fitfully entertaining.\nOn "Surf
EXTD= City", the dudes try their hand at a thematic, city song album. 
EXTD="Surf City", of course, is in their usual no-crossover aspiration
EXTD=s surfing style. The rest of the album, though, (with the excepti
EXTD=on of Honolulu Lulu) finds them expirementing. "Memphis" doesn't 
EXTD=work that well for the boys. They sound as if they're in Memphis 
EXTD=on Beale Street after partying too much. "Detroit City", though, 
EXTD=is a shock even for these ears. It's common for rock artists to c
EXTD=over country, but not rockers from the surf music genre. It actua
EXTD=lly works pretty well. It sounds as if Chet Atkins himself might'
EXTD=ve produced as he did on Bobby Bare's version (though we know he 
EXTD=didn't). It doesn't stray from it's countrypolitan/Nashville Soun
EXTD=d roots a bit and makes good listening.\n\nIf "Surf City" was the
EXTD= appetizer, "Folk 'n' Roll" is the T-Bone steak meal. They turn i
EXTD=n a hilarious version of "Hang On Sloopy" which will leave you la
EXTD=ughing at the end. The thrill is their version of "Eve of Destruc
EXTD=tion". It's done with every bit of grit that Barry McGuire initia
EXTD=lly put into it in his hit version. Also, the Byrd's "Turn, Turn,
EXTD= Turn" takes on a new life, but one could hope for the 12-string 
EXTD=to be on there, though. All in all, a must have. \n\n\nHalf.com D
