16. ESPERANZA – Dick Dale [3:53]
(Dick Dale)
DICK DALE: guitar * RON EGLIT: bass * SCOTT MATHEWS & PRAIRIE PRINCE: drums, percussion
Produced by SCOTT MATHEWS
From the album Tribal Thunder, HighTone #8046 (1993).
It’s fitting to end the fourth CD in this collection with the man given credit for defining the sound and style of surf music. In 1993, at the urging of San Francisco Chronicle music critic Joel Selvin, Dale headlined a series of shows in the Bay Area (the first time he had ever played there). Incidentally, at the first of these shows, the opening act was The Mermen (represented in this collection with „Honeybomb“). These appearances led to an album deal with HighTone Records. Dale’s Tribal Thunder album was his first since a 1983 live album called The Tiger’s Loose. Tribal Thunder became a hit album on college radio stations (which have become a major influence on the promotion and marketing of alternative rock in the ’90s) and his popularity grew. Then, the use of „Miserlou“ in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction sent his comeback over the top.
„Esperanza“ is from Dale’s Tribal Thunder CD. More new albums followed in 1994 and 1996. In the last few years, he’s toured extensively, including trips to England, Europe, and Australia. With Dick Dale, the music’s come full circle.
