Our Take

Link Wray, the original shredder himself, takes us on a wild ride with "Rumble: Link Wray 1956-62," a compilation of his early recordings that are guaranteed to make you wanna swing your hips and bang your head at the same time.

From the moment the iconic rumble of Link Wray's guitar kicks in on the title track, you know you're in for a raucous good time. Wray's gritty, no-nonsense approach to rock 'n' roll is on full display here, with his signature twangy guitar work cutting through the mix like a hot knife through butter.

Tracks like "Raw-Hide" and "Comanche" showcase Wray's innovative use of distortion and feedback, paving the way for future generations of rock guitarists to follow in his fuzzy footsteps. The man was a pioneer, a trailblazer, a true rebel with a cause.

But it's not all high-octane energy and power chords on this compilation. Wray shows his softer side on tracks like "Golden Strings" and "Jack the Ripper," proving that he's just as adept at crafting hauntingly beautiful melodies as he is at tearing up the fretboard.

In conclusion, "Rumble: Link Wray 1956-62" is a must-listen for any fan of rock 'n' roll music. It's a testament to the genius of a true legend, a man who changed the face of rock guitar forever. So crank up the volume, grab a cold one, and let Link Wray take you on a journey through the wild, wild world of rock 'n' roll. You won't regret it.
