The Barbwires - Searider (Wild Records)

It's the incredible new album from The Barbwires, featuring the unique talents of this European combo playing with the Blue Ocean Orchestra. The songs are excellent, and it's rare to hear surf music mixed with strings, trumpet, trombone, percussion, vibraphone, theremin, melodica, saw, pedalsteel, and heck, the list of instruments used just goes on and on. This was one of our top two albums of the year for 2008 - essential for any surf music collection.
