Friends of Dean Martinez - The Shadow of Your Smile

A post-modern fusion of Santo & Johnny, Dick Dale and The Ventures, with a heaping side order of Tex-Mex border music. Whether or not the musicians are playing this straight or not, they're playing it very well, and the result is good fun, even if it's totally uncharacteristic of the material offered by the Giant Sand/Naked Prey axis in the past. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
