Description
This is not a Sun Ra album, nor does it sound like a Sun Ra albumbut Sun Ra and various members of his Arkestra are on it. This 1966 budget-label project was an attempt by producer Tom Wilson to cash in on the Batman craze launched by the popular superhero comic book-turned-campy TV series. “The Sensational Guitars of Dan and Dale” were not a real groupit was a marquee name for a rotating cast of session pros earning rent money by playing on hastily recorded albums intended to turn quick bucks on various musical and cultural fashions. There are at least 20 “Dan & Dale” albums listed at Discogs, most issued on the Diplomat label. To the best of anyone’s knowledge, there were no musicians named Dan or Dale involved. In fact, few, if any, musicians have been identified from any D&D projects”Batman” being a notable exception, and for good reason.Highly recommended for themusic and the myth behind it.
