“Rebel-‘Rouser” #6 7/28/1958

If Link Wray invented distorted rock, Duane Eddy invented twangy rock. This Top 10 instrumental from July 1958 influenced SO many guitarists, much like Wray. Duane started out in Phoenix with local DJ Lee Hazlewood, who later produced Nancy Sinatra. Some of Eddy’s band members went on to be part of the famed Wrecking Crew. The hand claps, yells, etc. were by the Rivingtons (“Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow”).
