Album


Link Wray is the self-titled 1971 album by pioneer Rock & Roll guitarist Link Wray. The music is an Americana blend of blues, country, gospel, and folk rock elements. This music is characterized by the purposeful use of simplified sounds to reflect the then-current vogue of blues and other roots music being used in many roots rock bands. Wray's guitar-work, composing, and vocals reflected modern rock influences. Despite publicity from radio stations and print media in the Washington area, the album.

Link Wray was one of rock & roll's first bone fide guitar heroes, and his speaker-shredding buzzy chords were as distinctive a sound as anyone conjured up in rock's early years. Recorded in a homemade three-track studio fashioned in an abandoned chicken coop on Wray's Maryland farm, Link Wray lacks the muscle of the man's legendary instrumental sides, with acoustic guitar, piano, and mandolin anchoring these sides as often as Link's electric, and there's a down-home mood here that lacks the switchblade intensity of Wray's most famous.

Maybe not really a review, but a reply to xrisrawkIsn't Dylan's music and whole identity as an artist based on a great robbery of Americana and other Arcana's of mainly western culture. No wonder that Link Wray's fantastic backwood trilogy (we better speak about three platters, if we include this Mordicai Jones - Mordicai Jones - and we should) sounds partly like classic Dylan stuff. Dylan hangs around there, lurking in the woods and other places where house music, folk, country and blues have been sung & played and still float through the air, where all the great dudes and lads have always been, long time before Mr. Zimmermann started heading down on Highway 61 and catching up the tales and melodies. Praise him for taking us on the bus as to Link for inventing the rock guitar, but also for this fantastic lessons about the beauty of simplicity. The tunes recorded in his farm-based Wray's Shack Three Track are so rough and forcefull, La De da lifts your soul away, the intricating ratchet or whatever they've used on Take Me Home Jesus makes it amazing, Fire & Brimstone blows any place, Fallin Rain can make a hard man humble, Black River Swamp really sets one straight to a place out there in the old fashioned, mystic country side, bringing up beautiful interaction of dobro, guitar and mandolin. They don't to this stuff anymore one might say - be sure it never has and never will vanish! But here it's done just the right way. Many killers, no real fillers, if even.Absolutely stunner 5/5. Happy to own this Link Wray - Link Wray which sounds fantastic.

Is "Fallin' Rain" based on Dylan's "Baby Blue"? The music sound identical.

A fantastic album! I first heard Fire & Brimstone with the Swedish garage band Nomads.
Levaq
This album is amazing--a great mix of soulful rock and fuzzy, chugging tunes. Get it!
Naril
The song 'Juke Box Mama' on this album is where Jack White got the music for The White Stripes hit 'Doorbell'.
Skyway
Anyone with good taste should check out the Half A Hellstomper cd with a killer version of Juke Box Mama.This album smokes from start to finish though.
