A sequel of sorts to their first album, Boss Drag, the similarly titled Boss Drag at the Beach was released only a few months following. Unfortunately, the T-Bones' second release of 1964 does not rise to the same levels of legitimacy as their introductory offering. 

​

‘White Water Wipe-Out’ is a valid beach-themed number. ‘Pearlin’’ is another strong ( if not saccharine) track with a glassy surf guitar attached to the A section. ‘Bucket Seat Beauty’ sounds inspired by ‘Green Onions’ but is just unique enough to this reviewer’s ears to warrant a recommendation. ‘Thunder Road’ again features the ultra-60s organ as the centerpiece. Covers of ‘Hot Rod U.S.A.’ and ‘Competition Coupe’ are mundane, to say the least, and while ‘Chopped Deuce’ does have a rocking fuzz guitar in the middle, it is overall plain unimaginative. ‘’Five Over’ is a pretty great jam. ‘Haulin’ Henry,’ ‘Boss Woody,’ and ‘High Boy Hauler’ are all comparably dull and uninteresting exercises.

While their first release carried some laudible moments, the heavy use of organ, castanets, and bells date the T-Bone’s second quite mercilessly. The result is that everything feels too clean and polished to be real hot rod music. If you like organ-centric rock, then this could appeal to you.
