Album Description

Loud, loose and savage! Davie Allan & The Arrows come crashing back on the scene with an all-new set of raunchy masterpieces. Unique among American musical icons, Allan always had the uncanny knack of straddling the worlds of brain-omelette psychedelia and rawboned surf with the most fuzzed-out guitar sound ever committed to tape. His storied soundtrack music for trashy biker flicks like The Wild Angels—whose theme is re-cut here in all its cortex-splattering glory—is the stuff of legends. Now Davie has returned to fry the gray matter of an audience primed for his distinct blend of acid and sand with a smoking set of originals and ultra-choice covers. Allan's even picked up vintage axes he hasn't touched in decades to give Restless In L.A. its over-the-top, radioactive glow of fuzz, just to let you know this could be no on else on earth but L.A.'s original guitar hero: Davie Allan

5 out of 5 stars HIS MASTERPIECE! RATES 10 STARS.......2003-10-22

At an age when a lot of musicians are resting on their laurels and long past their best work both Dick Dale and Davie Allan have both released the best work of their careers. Dick Dale with his cd Spacial Disorientation and Davie Allan with Restless in L. A.. I'm 50 years old and first heard Davie Allan in the 60s' when the song Blue's Theme was a hit on top 40 radio. Out of the over 2000 cds I own, for the last month this is the one I listen to over and over,and instead of it getting old it just keeps getting better. For anybody that likes instrumental rock guitar [there are two vocals included] buy this cd and discover someone who deserves to be mentioned in the company of other guitar legends. I'm gonna go turn up the volume on the stereo and listen to "Demente" right now!

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!!!.......2003-09-13

Wow! I'm the first person to review this. It's really an honor, since it is such a great album. I mean, it's really good -- almost Grammy Award material. That's my opinion, anyway. I don't know how many people would agree with me, the world's only teenage surf music fan. Actually, I had never heard of Davie Allan until very recently, when I was thumbing through the "All Music Guide to Rock" (which is a great book, by the way). I was looking at the family tree of instrumental music in the back of the guide when I noticed a branch the read "Instumental Surf Pshychedlia." This caught my eye, for I had never heard of such a thing. Davie Allan & the Arrows were the only band listed under this branch. A few months later I was in the music store looking for some of Davie Allan's CD's. This was the only one they had, so I bought it. I opened it with some aprehension, because I had never heard any of Allan's music except for "Blues Theme." However, I was not at all disapointed when the first track, "The Toxic Terror," started to play. In fact, this song is one of the greatest instrumentals I have ever heard. Other standout songs include the title track, "Restless in L.A.," and the hard-rocking "Energized," and "Arrow Highway." "The Loud, the Loose, and the Savage," and the "Stranger," are great tributes to the Spaghetti Western music of Ennio Morricone. The rest of the songs are good, too. Actually, most of them are not surf songs (Allan & the Arrows, like the Ventures, don't consider themselves a "surf band.") But there is NO weak material in this album, which Allan has dedicated to his mother who died a few years ago.
