Synopsis

Album Description

Eddie Angel is lead guitarist for Los Straitjackets, America's premier instrumental combo. He has been a devoted Link Wray fan for over 20 years. He learned to play Rawhide, Run Chicken Run and Jack the Ripper in the nightclubs of Washington D.C., Link's old stomping grounds. This is his tribute to the world's coolest rock-n-roll guitarist.

CD Reviews

Not essential

Surf'n blues | Lexington, KY USA | 01/13/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Essential perhaps for instro-maniacs, but for surf afficionados this album doesn't bring much new to the table. Pete Curry plays all the accompanying instruments (drums, bass, and piano) except sax. This album lacks the fury and innovation of early Los Straitjacket albums, and is more in line with their recent efforts (Velvet Touch, Supersonic Guitars). Not that its a bad rendition; Angel plays the songs as Wray played them, clean and flawlessly. Unfortunately, there is no new interpretation to the music, its just Link Wray repeated. Why not pick up the Link Wray "Rumble! Best of" album instead? Its cheap, and the originals, with their heavy reverb and dated sound, still have more life than this revisit."

Essential for all instro-manaics!

G. Steinkamp | St Louis | 09/30/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"File this one right between your Los Staitjacket and Link Wray disks! An outstanding effort by one of the great promoters of pure rock and roll guitar. If Martians ever invade your house and want to know what rock and roll sounds like, or you need to put something in a time capsule so future generations know- hand them them disk!"
