He's in the Rockabilly Hall Of Fame but he needs to be in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. No doubt about it.

You hear the influence of the "Sunset Strip / go-go era". The west coasts acid blitzed answer to "Swinging London" late '65 until Monterey Pop. Then everything went mega with Jimi. Link Wray was a relic.
