The Ventures

Moments Worth Waiting For
The punchy brass-mimicking guitar stabs on the title track that capture the original soul groove.
The unexpected medley of Walk, Don't Run and Land of 1000 Dances that bridges surf history with R&B energy.
A bizarrely fuzzed-out and rhythmic reimagining of Tip-Toe Thru' the Tulips With Me.
