Album Review:

Released between Surfin' with the Astronauts and Competition Coupe sits Everything's A-OK!. Recorded at the Club Baja in 1964, the album is, in many ways, an archetypal live recording of the period. 

​

While none of the tracks here are explicitly surf or hot rod-related, the playing is rooted firmly in the style. With the typical 'wet' Astronauts sound dialed back a bit, there are still many great guitar licks, demonstrating just how tight this band was.
