372 The (Fabulous) Wailers “Tall Cool One” 1959

“This was no ordinary four-chord, teenage rock ‘n’ roll aggregation. Over time, the Wailers have become recognized as the pioneers of the hard-edged Northwest Sound (and in a way, surf music)…The Wailers, proficient young musicians all (especially guitarist Rich Gangel and drummer Mike Burk), soaked up a range of musical styles from the wild R&B of Little Richard to the sophisticated cool of Henry Mancini and Chet Baker” (John Broven, Record Makers and Breakers, 2009).
