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

Link is at his scariest on this stroll. Even the guitar sounds spooky. A great song to play on Halloween.

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.

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!

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.
