Our Take

LINK WRAY Early Years / Good Rockin Tonight

Hailed as the "Godfather of Rock and Roll Guitar," Link Wray's Early Years / Good Rockin Tonight is a deliciously retro trip down memory lane. From the iconic riffs of "Rumble" to the foot-stomping beat of "Good Rockin' Tonight," this album is a goldmine for any die-hard rockabilly fan.

Wray's raw, unpolished sound is a breath of fresh air in today's overly-produced music scene. Each track oozes with attitude and energy, transporting you back to the heyday of rock and roll. With twangy guitars and infectious beats, Wray's music is impossible not to move and groove to.

The album effortlessly blends a mix of rockabilly, blues, and surf rock, showcasing Wray's versatility as a musician. His distinctive style and innovative approach to the guitar have influenced countless artists over the years, cementing his legacy in music history.

While the production may be a bit rough around the edges, it only adds to the charm of the album. Wray's pure passion and talent shine through on every track, making it a must-listen for any music lover.

In a world saturated with cookie-cutter pop tunes, Link Wray's Early Years / Good Rockin Tonight is a refreshing reminder of the power of raw, authentic rock and roll. So grab your leather jacket, slick back your hair, and press play on this rockin' masterpiece.
