Our Take

In a world where live albums can often feel like a cheap cash grab or a half-hearted attempt to capture the magic of a band's stage presence, Link Wray's "Live In 85 &..." is a refreshing reminder of the power of a truly great live performance.

Recorded during a legendary show in 1985, this album captures Wray at the peak of his powers, shredding his guitar like a man possessed and whipping the crowd into a frenzy with his infectious energy. From the blistering opening riff of "Rumble" to the soulful wail of "Black Widow," Wray's playing is nothing short of electrifying, and his band is right there with him every step of the way.

But what truly sets this album apart is Wray's charisma and stage presence. The man is a born showman, effortlessly commanding the crowd with his gravelly voice and larger-than-life personality. Whether he's cracking jokes between songs or tearing through a blistering solo, Wray keeps the audience hanging on his every word and note.

With its raw energy, killer musicianship, and undeniable charm, "Live In 85 &..." is a must-listen for any fan of rock 'n' roll. So grab a cold beer, crank up the volume, and let Link Wray take you on a wild ride through the golden age of live music. You won't regret it.
