Paul Johnson & The Packards were to the surf-revival of the '80s what the Belairs were to the “first-wave†in the '60s — a pioneer band that played a major role in defining the form. As you will hear on these tracks The Packards sought to make surf-instrumental music that was true to its roots, yet relevant to a new day. Be sure to check out The Packards' gospel-themed instrumental adaptations on Guitar Heaven and the rippin jams on California, which include an instrumental of The Beatles' "Day Tripper."
