Synopsis

Album Description
The kids of 1958 loved 'em, and their first single for Cadence Records shot up the charts like a label owner's dream. This is the fantastic and fiery album that was supposed to have been released as a follow-up to one of the all-time great, instrumental classics, "Rumble." But faster than you can say "Drag Race," everyone was talking about the new threat to the morals of American youth -- Cadence label-owner Archie Bleyer included. That's why Link and his boys were off the imprint, and this album of his prime-era, distorto-guitar-crunch cool remained unreleased for nearly 50 years! At long last, here it is, and it's every bit as dirty and dangerous as you would expect!
 

CD Reviews

About time
Dave R. Hoon | Madison, WI | 02/20/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This rocks forwards and backwards. That it took this long to be released is borderline criminal. It's refreshing to hear the power chord from a new-old view."
SICK!!

"Rourkas instrumental twangy guitar rock! As raw and tough as the 50's has to offer. This stuff will blow your mind! Get it!"
