Link Wray-The Shadow Knows (That's one scary laugh) (1965)

[lancetop]

I dare you to listen to Link Wray just once....it's like the potato chips thing.

[doctorw2]

i love the shadow i wish they would make a modern tv series for this character.

[RCAvhstape]

This is such a kickass song, I wish it would go on like that for 20 minutes, what an awesome instumental jam.

One of the best guitar strumming/licks ever recorded. LW was such a revolutionary for his time - nobody else was playing like him. He was an original deriving of the late 50's playing style. I can listen to this timeless classic over and over and again!

[beigleinn]

jasonpfinch -- Same with the Ramones etc., he's one of those musicians who does a thing really well with slight variations -- it's about his sound more than amazingly original songwriting -- and anyway you're overlooking his solos which are unique.

[Mariekesone]

Hahahaha....It gets me everytime..

Great!

[aurlis2012]

godfather of punk rock and heavy rock, invented power chords, guys legendary in my books

[Cosmotype]

The original Swan single from 1964 is slightly different, it has an creepy 2nd guitar line running through it. 

[jasonpfinch]

all his records are the same. Three chords played slowly and some B-movie stuff thrown in.

[thebleedingjeans]

@jasonpfinch yes that, and it is all bad ass too. Don't forget that part.
