LINK WRAY -"El Toro" (1961)

The Pop influences that inspired Ennio Morricone's 'Spaghetti' Western guitar sound!

America tried to define itself in the 1950's by redefining its history. TV Westerns dominated living rooms for nearly two decades after. Rock'n'Roll instrumentals stampeded, like the theme of "Rawhide" by Link Wray, and cowboy and indian-inspired originals. Here's Link bringing Mexican horns into the arena, a step on the path to Ennio's sound.
