in Nov. 1961 I was on my honeymoon in Washington, DC...atopped in to a club??? in DC an saw... :Link Wray & his Wray Men....great show....great night.......Dave
1965 - a super-rock-´n-roll-year. This is real music from the 60s. i´ve never heard of this band before and maybe It´s because I´m from northern Europe. At that time we were "flooded" by English bands. I guess that you guys never had heard about this unknown band from Scandinavia. THE ZETTLERS. Check up their versions of "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah. 1965 was a wonderful music year.
@TheSunbau Well I'll tell ya good buddy, you've come upon the god of raw American cool and Rock n Roll. Link Wray is my hero and I'm sure that of many others. Congratulations on your find. Check out "Hidden Charms" "Ace of Spades" "Jack the Ripper" "Run Chicken Run" and "Branded". Real rock. The Zettlers rock. Have a good one.
I'll always remember Link Wray for his big instrumental hit called "Rawhide". I don't know Link Wray for this one & again it's Rawhide or Nohide. Thx4 postin'
I always feel like the only man who could do a reasonable cover of the Wray tunes that Link actually sings in is perhaps Tom Waits, which is a complete compliment for both Tom AND Link.
Ditto ...I must have heard over a hundred other versions...yet this is up there with the best. ...can't stop playing it!! Link has virtually made it his own with his interpretation.
this is a nice atmospheric version of this. Face it, this song has been covered by everyone in the music business. Too many versions of this song exist!
Fantastic audio quality, much better than on the Union Pacific vinyl LP I was familiar with previously. Thank you for posting this wonderful treasure!
Link Wray is a famous name, my last name is Wray. I was raised with Rock music, but when I was getting into music in the 60's it was the Beatles first and everyone else second really. At the time I did not enjoy this type of rockabilly stuff. It still is not high on my list. But the talent was there with Link on the guitar. It is his genre that I did not ever pick up on.
Why wasn't this song HUGE? It's hard to know why........
Great, great, great song.................when Link goes with the high pitched, "Well, I heard the news..." the first time, I get goose bumps. He also channels Elvis, his idol, a bit in this song as well. The guitar riffs in this song are freaking out of this world.

Hey Beelzebrad667!
I've listened through all the songs by Link Wray. And ..... I moved directly to the early 60's.
Straight, raw guitar sounds, no samples, only good old Rock 'n Roll! Super!
Have a really good one!
