Review by Lindsay Planer
The second Lively Ones long-player, Surf Drums (1963), was compiled in
much the same way their debut had been created, comparable to the vast
majority of rush-released platters of the era. Del-Fi Records owner Bob
Keane collected a few of the band's previous singles alongside a variety
of already established covers, many of which were concurrent hits for
other artists. The instrumental quintet had gained a sizable name for
themselves in and around the Orange County, CA, scene, scoring
regionally on covers of the Ventures' dynamic "Spudnik" and the
Fireballs' effervescent "Rik-A-Tic." The album opens up with a remake of
Duane Eddy's mid-tempo, ambling "40 Miles Bad Road." The track is the
perfect vehicle for Jim Masoner (guitar) and Joel Willenbring (sax),
whose collaborations became an integral ingredient not only in the
Lively Ones' sound, but helped to separate them from the plethora of
similar units. Providing support for the soloists and rounding out the
personnel are solid contributions from Ed Chiaverini (guitar), Ron
Griffith (bass), and Tim Fitzpatrick (drums). Despite the dearth of
original compositions, the aggregate muscle through some choice
overhauls of genre favorites, most notably the soulful strut of the
Rockin' Rebels' "Wild Weekend," the high-energy yakety sax on the
Belairs' "Mr. Moto" and the analogous rearrangement of "Tuff Surf," an
R&B entry from the relatively obscure Nobel Watts.

Reseña de Lindsay Planer
El segundo jugador de larga duración de Lively Ones, Surf Drums (1963),
fue compilado de la misma manera que su debut había sido creado,
comparable a la gran mayoría de los platos lanzados en la época. Bob
Keane, propietario de Del-Fi Records, recopiló algunos de los singles
anteriores de la banda junto con una variedad de covers ya establecidos,
muchos de los cuales fueron éxitos concurrentes para otros artistas. El
quinteto instrumental se había ganado un nombre considerable en y
alrededor de la escena del Condado de Orange, California, anotando
regionalmente en las portadas de la dinámica de los Ventures "Spudnik" y
el efervescente "Rik-A-Tic" de los Fireballs. El álbum se abre con un
remake de Duane Eddy's mid-tempo, ambling "40 Miles Bad Road." El tema
es el vehículo perfecto para Jim Masoner (guitarra) y Joel Willenbring
(saxo), cuyas colaboraciones se convirtieron en un ingrediente integral
no sólo en el sonido de los Lively Ones, sino que ayudaron a separarlos
de la plétora de unidades similares. Brindando apoyo a los solistas y
completando el personal están las sólidas contribuciones de Ed
Chiaverini (guitarra), Ron Griffith (bajo), y Tim Fitzpatrick (batería).
A pesar de la escasez de composiciones originales, el músculo agregado a
través de algunas revisiones de los favoritos del género, más
notablemente el puntal conmovedor del "Wild Weekend" de los Rockin'
Rebels, el saxofón de yakety de alta energía en el "Mr. Moto" de los
Belairs y la reorganización análoga de "Tuff Surf", una entrada de
R&B de los relativamente oscuros Nobel Watts.
