Link Wray & The Wraymen Epic Records It’s hard to imagine an instrumental being banned as too subversive, but that is what happened to Link Wray’s Rumble in 1958. Its tough, muscular sound captured the tension of a gang fight and many US radio stations refused to play it or even mention its title. This is Link Wray’s original 1960 debut LP. An all instrumental album incluing Link’s smash hit “Raw-Hide”, the often covered “Comanche”, the ballad “Lillian” plus Caroline/Slinky/Right Turn/Rendezvous/Dixie-Doodle/Ramble/Hand Clapper/Radar/Studio Blues. You can get this and more Link Wray from Norton Records.
“He is the king; if it hadn’t been for Link Wray and ‘Rumble,’ I would have never picked up a guitar.” – Pete Townsend

“Mr. Tambourine Man” The Byrds 1965 debut on Columbia Records. #232 on Rolling Stones’ 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” Produced by Terry Melcher. Cover Photo by: Barry Feinstein. Here’s an early TV appearance on Hullabaloo.
The only Byrd to play on the band’s first hit was Roger McGuinn, whose chiming twelve-string Rickenbacker guitar became folk rock’s defining sound. Everything else came from L.A. pros, including drummer Hal Blaine and bassist Larry Knechtel from Phil Spector’s Wrecking Crew. But the rest of the Byrds soon caught up, and as the song was breaking, a curious Dylan checked out the band at Ciro’s, an L.A. club, and reportedly didn’t recognize some of his own songs in their electrified versions. – Rolling Stone
