Comment:

Some time ago I had an entry in my "Guitarsnob Guidebook" series - an entry devoted to Link Wray, the inventor of RAWK GUITAR. This is the inevitible sequel, in two discs, with enough strong tracks for another couple o' extra volumes. Here we feature tunes from his classic period, his country lp's in the early 70s (yes, I said country), the Link Wray wanna-be's, and so much more. I may have more Link Wray discs in my collection than anyone this side of the Kinks. People have covered him and paid loving tribute to him - but no one, NO ONE sounds like Link Wray. Dig.
The Bowling Allies was a short-lived outfit with me on gee-tar. And yes, we allies only played bowling alleys. (Wait 'til you hear my next band, the Laundromatics!)
And friends, this goes out to Wanda - she had just started to sing (amazingly) with my current band, Teen Riot. She could sing, she could rock, ... she had it all. She was killed by a drunk driver about 3 weeks ago. It's been devastating. To say that she is missed just sounds so trite. But is it ever true....

R.I.P. Wanda. And hats off to Mr. Wray, although you know that he's way more your type of thing than mine.

Nice pair Sean!
I expected to see Link Protrudi & the Jaymen but happy to see Duane Eddy (!) and Ra-cha-cha's own Hi-Risers---with the Squire on drums I believe, here! (Sad to read about your friend.Very.)

Oh man, Sean, that is just terribly sad. Head shaking at the way the world works. But the Link Wray mix is, as usual, superb.

Not real well versed on LW but if the "imitators" are any indication, I should correct that. Condolences on a lost friend and bandmate. Been there too often.

Damn those drunk drivers! I mean, I like to drink, but NOT enough to risk killing someone . But I guess I'd assume the driver is now feeling an unbearable remorse, & have to feel sorry for him too . ..

Meanwhile, a great great killer-diller thriller-instiller mix! -- & for once the download-addicts can't ask "where's the link"?

This is, as always, stellar, Sean. Condolences on the loss of Wanda. Women named Wanda always rock in a big way.
