Link Wray means so much to me. He is a pure force of nature he was the danger that defined real rock and roll. This is a great piece of history. Thank you for posting it.

@mattybock Damn straight buddy! Psychobilly ain't rockabilly at all! It's shit is what it is! This is the real deal, can't get any better than Link Wrey!

Damn how totally old school, what great echo!

I loved this song since the first time I heard it back in the ninties, on Mark La Marr's "Shake, rattle & roll" radio show.

I like some psychobilly but I hate when people call The Meteors or rev. horton heat to name just a few rockabilly bc it could not be further from the truth. When I think rockabilly I think Eddie Cochran, Sun Elvis, Buddy Holly when on Decca, Johnny Burnette Trio, Gene Vincent, Benny Joy, Link before the fuzz gems and well anything with a slapbass not meant to sound like punk. I love all three but a lot of psychobilly is lousy. Cramps were the first one and prob the best one. Can't beat Link tho.

@killgreed I have always LOVED the Cramps. Unfortunately I was shocked to learn recently that, like, ALL their songs were covers! Some are instrumental note for note covers that they added lyrics to ("Teenage Werewolf", "Sunglasses After Dark") and others are just simplified covers of little known 50s - 60s bands. I still love 'em and think of all the scrawny rockers in women's undies since the 70s Lux Interior was the hottest. Look up the album "Roots of the Cramps".

Recepie for maximum analog nastiness: 1 dub this tune on to an old reel to reel tape deck 2.crank it thru a pair of Fender Twin Reverbs {turned up to 10) 3.Play over and over until the police show up in your drive way. 4.After that, yer on yer own. Makes for an interesting evening, though

@ghostsforgive It's is uniquely DAG, but I enjoy it, I been into The Cramps a lot lately, Seems people take the to seriously, or not at all?

[ghostsforgive]

@killgreed agreed. out of all the psychobilly bands i've heard DAG are the ONLY ones that match what the old guys did. i've always felt a real rockabilly vibe in their records. only heard the first few though.

[ghostsforgive]

@Cozmixcartoons this guy knows whats up. im no youngin but im not old yet either, at 26 i feel unbiased enough to say that no bit of psychbilly i've heard (and i've heard plenty) can match what the old guys did in the 50's. i'll take the old rockabilly sound any day. these guys were trendsetters for a reason.

Could Anybody write down the lyrics, please? I can find nowhere. Some part is not clear for me! Thanks!
