Our Take

Ah, Link Wray, the original king of the rumble. "The Rumblin Guitar Sounds Of" is a reissue that showcases Wray's raw and powerful guitar playing in all its glory. From the iconic "Rumble" to the frenetic "Ace Of Spades," this album is a rollicking ride through the world of instrumental rock.

Wray's guitar tone is like a thunderstorm on a summer's day - fierce, unpredictable, and utterly captivating. His playing is a masterclass in controlled chaos, with each note ringing out like a battle cry in the midst of a musical melee.

The production on this album is delightfully lo-fi, adding to the gritty charm of Wray's sound. The twang of his guitar cuts through the mix like a knife through butter, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

While some tracks may blur together in a whirlwind of fuzz and feedback, there are moments of quiet beauty to be found here too. The haunting "Radar" showcases Wray's more contemplative side, with delicate guitar lines that shimmer like light on water.

Overall, "The Rumblin Guitar Sounds Of" is a must-listen for any fan of rock 'n' roll history. With its combination of raw energy and undeniable charisma, Link Wray's music remains as powerful and relevant as ever. So crank up the volume, grab your air guitar, and get ready to rumble.
