{"product_id":"link-wray-link-wray-and-the-wraymen-lp","title":"Link Wray - Link Wray And The Wraymen (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWray's first album, as was often the custom in 1960, was a slapped-together affair, combining both sides of his first three Epic singles with half a dozen other numbers. One of those singles was his only hit of any size besides \"Rumble,\" the Duane Eddy-ish \"Raw-Hide\"; another was a thinly disguised (and inferior) reworking of his classic \"Rumble,\" here titled \"Ramble.\" While this is a fine early instrumental rock \u0026amp; roll album, it's actually more inhibited and less creative than his classic work for Swan in the early and mid-'60s, and might slightly disappoint those who've come across some of those later ace tracks (like \"Jack the Ripper\") prior to hearing this stuff. Still, the Linkster's trademark fuzzy low tones and more strangled, higher-pitched faster runs make themselves known throughout. The songs do tend to play off pretty basic early rock \u0026amp; roll chord progressions, and exhibit a more pronounced Duane Eddy influence (not only on \"Raw-Hide,\" but also on \"Right Turn\" and \"Caroline\") than his later work would. Although this has been reissued as a stand-alone CD, all of the songs are also on the two-CD Slinky! The Epic Sessions 1958-1961, which is a recommended alternative, as it has about three dozen additional tracks recorded during the same era. ~ Richie Unterberger\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Caroline 2:29\u003cbr\u003eA2 Slinky 2:33\u003cbr\u003eA3 Right Turn 1:44\u003cbr\u003eA4 Rendezvous 1:56\u003cbr\u003eA5 Dixie-Doodle 2:11\u003cbr\u003eA6 Ramble 2:15\u003cbr\u003eA7 Johnny Bom Bonny 2:17\u003cbr\u003eA8 Mary Ann 2:21\u003cbr\u003eB1 Hand Clapper 2:22\u003cbr\u003eB2 Raw-Hide 2:08\u003cbr\u003eB3 Lillian 1:50\u003cbr\u003eB4 Radar 2:17\u003cbr\u003eB5 Comanche 2:05\u003cbr\u003eB6 Studio Blues 2:03\u003cbr\u003eB7 Roughshod 2:10\u003cbr\u003eB8 Rumble [Original Single Version] 2:27\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joco Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097764671747,"sku":"SUTEK7-6AND-00","price":20.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/link-wray-link-wray-and-the-wraymen-lp","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
