While there is no artist officially listed with this release, the album is usually credited to the Jalopy Five; a Nashville studio band that released most of these tracks as singles or under alternate aliases, such as Bob and Bobby and the Roamers between the years of 1963-65. 

​

The album opens up with a sorry rendition of 'Drag City' as the vocalists struggle to land on the various modulations between the chorus and bridge. 'Hey, Little Cobra' fares slightly better though 'Fun, Fun, Fun' chugs along tiresomely. Jan and Dean's challenging 'Deadman's Curve' features some brass and a harp, though the arrangement is far inferior to the original. After the disastrous first Beach Boys cover, the Jalopy Five tackles the soft 'Surfer Girl' surprisingly well. The Surfaris 'Wipe Out' gets a slick makeover while 'Surf City' again suffers from some lackluster vocals. A cover of 'Little Old Lady from Pasadena' puts this release somewhere on the tail end of 1964, though is executed better than most of the other vocal tracks. The two tracks that close the album, 'I've Got A Tiger In My Tank' and 'The Whole Summer Thru,' aren't bad tunes in their own right and are unique to this release. 

​

Draggin' and Surfin' was followed by a second installment just a few months following its release, and if that wasn't enough, Modern Sound records would even take one last stab at the surf craze as late as 1966, repacking these tunes in I Love That West Coast Sound. Despite its lower budget, this is actually a pretty solid release. Most of the covers are passable, and the two originals are a nice treat.
