Trashmen, The - Tube City! Best of The Trashmen '1992

Tracks list

       Tube City!: The Best of The Trashmen adds their Garrett singles to their
lone 1964 album Surfin' Bird. That classic single is here in all of its raw,
unfettered glory, and while it does tend to overshadow the rest of the
Trashmen's output, the collection shows that their other work was also strong.
Their covers of "Miserlou," "It's So Easy," and "Money (That's What I Want)"
reflect the band's roots, and aren't overly respectful of the original versions,
while "My Woodie" and "Kuk" are respectable surf-pop songs. The Trashmen's
instrumentals also fare well, particularly "Tube City" itself , the
flamenco-surf of "Malaguena," and "Bird Dance," a silly, tiki-bird infested bid
to follow up the success of "Surfin' Bird." "Bird Dance Beat" follows suit, but
songs like "Bad News," "Whoa! Dad," and "Real Live Doll" have as much energy,
but a little more originality. While it's not as complete as the four-disc box
Bird Call!: The Twin City Stomp of the Trashmen, Tube City!: The Best of The
Trashmen is still the definitive look at the first part of their career.
