Ed “Big Daddy” Roth is a fascinating counterculture figure because his T-shirts monsters driving souped up-cars in the early 1970s were for many the perfect middle-finger to mainstream culture, while Roth himself was a straight edge who didn’t do anything that would impair his ability to customize a car. The image most associated with him is Rat Fink, a gored-out take on Mickey Mouse that in itself was subversive, and director Ron Mann recently made a documentary on Roth titled Tales of the Rat Fink. The soundtrack is by the Sadies from Toronto, and in many ways, it mirrors the albums that were released as Rat Fink albums—designed to cash in on Rothmania, such as it was—in the early 1970s. Those albums were cool, surf/hot rod instrumentals with lots of twangy guitar. Same here. Nothing about the music on those albums was distinguished. Same here. Nothing’s wrong with these tracks, but you have to be really into surf and/or the Sadies to care about this outside of the context of the movie. Still, the Sadies are awfully good at this sound.
