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.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. Wray’s opening chord sets the scene for 150 echo-drenched seconds of feedback and distorted guitar. 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
