Poorman’s 15 Minutes of Fame: Jimmy Dale (The Jimmy Dale Trio, Son of Dick Dale, King of Surf Guitar)
“The Jimmy Dale Trio is more, so like we tip the hat to my Dad. I’m starting to bleed in a couple of my own songs in the set, which are watered-down Kill Jill songs. I take the lyrics out, and I kinda write a guitar melody over them and make them really surfy, but I still keep it like power surf, like Dad tone, you know, not the thin guitar strings and over the top reverb. I keep it true to my Dad’s tone.”
