Dave Del Monte and the Cross County Boys

"You Got Two Seconds" b/w "Surfin' Crow"

(Self-issued)




Given the numerous fine platters Dave has to his credit - ones typically featuring an affable union of orthodox Rockabilly and ingratiating waggery -  the expectation that new sounds from him will follow their compelling course is reasonable. These fresh entries do so. 

Sprightly original "You Got Two Seconds" offers grinning geniality. "Surfin' Crow," a frolicsome instrumental, was originally waxed in 1960 by the Jades. Dave's rendering spotlights worthy picking that assures acclamation.
