Our Take

Oh, what a treat we have in store for you today, dear readers! LINK WRAY's early recordings are like a fine wine - they only get better with age. This album is a true blast from the past, taking us back to a time when rock 'n roll was raw, unfiltered, and oozing with attitude.

From the moment you press play, you can feel the energy and passion that went into these tracks. Wray's signature guitar sound is unlike anything you've ever heard before - gritty, primal, and oh so satisfying. Each riff and lick is like a punch to the gut, in the best possible way.

The production may be a bit rough around the edges, but that only adds to the charm of these recordings. It's like listening to your favourite band play in a dingy, smoke-filled club - you can almost smell the sweat and spilled beer. This is music that demands to be played loud, so crank up the volume and let yourself be transported back to a time when rock 'n roll was king.

Overall, LINK WRAY's early recordings are a must-listen for any fan of authentic, no-nonsense rock 'n roll. So grab a drink, kick back, and let these tunes wash over you like a tidal wave of pure, unadulterated badassery. Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Link Wray

Known as the "Godfather of Rock and Roll" and the inventor of the power chord, Link Wray was a pioneer in the music industry. His raw and gritty guitar sound paved the way for generations of rock musicians to come. Wray's iconic hit "Rumble" was a game-changer, causing controversy with its instrumental simplicity and rebellious attitude. With just a guitar, bass, and drums, Wray created a sound that was both primal and infectious. His influence can be heard in the music of artists ranging from The Kinks to The White Stripes. Wray's innovative use of distortion and feedback set him apart from his peers, earning him a reputation as a true original. Despite his impact on the music world, Wray remained a humble and often overlooked figure in the industry. He shied away from the spotlight, preferring to let his music speak for itself. Link Wray's legacy lives on in the countless musicians he inspired and the songs that continue to resonate with audiences today. His pioneering spirit and undeniable talent make him a true icon in the history of rock and roll.
