Our Take

Ah, Link Wray, the pioneer of the power chord, the master of the twang, the godfather of distortion. The man who made every guitarist scream "Rumble" in awe. Now, it's time to take a trip back in time with Link Wray & The Wraymen, the self-titled album that started it all.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world of pure rock 'n' roll energy. The rawness of Wray's guitar slashes through the speakers like a chainsaw, leaving your ears ringing and your heart pounding. Tracks like "Jack The Ripper" and "Rawhide" are a masterclass in instrumental prowess, with each note dripping with attitude and swagger.

But it's not all about the guitar heroics. The Wraymen provide a solid backbone, with thunderous drums and pulsating bass lines that drive the songs forward with unstoppable force. "Run Chicken Run" and "The Sweeper" showcase the band's tight musicianship, keeping the energy levels high and the foot-tapping constant.

Link Wray & The Wraymen is a testament to the power of simplicity and attitude in rock music. It's a raw, unfiltered blast of pure adrenaline that will leave you begging for more. So crank up the volume, grab your air guitar, and let Link Wray take you on a wild ride through the dusty roads of rock 'n' roll history.
