Link Wray: The Rumble Man

Includes 30 minutes of previously unreleased bonus tracks

Imagine it's 1954, you're a young kid who's just got hold of a copy of Elvis Presley's latest SUN 45 "Good Rockin' Tonight". Pure Rock'n'Roll. You slap it on the turntable shakin' along whilst your parents are off to the local Baptist church to pray for your soul!!

Suddenly it's 1958 and you just picked up this crazy instrumental shaker called "Rumble"-the opening D chord (the most important chord in musical history) has you on your knees and its then that your parents know you're long gone...Who's to blame?Link Wray that's who...but who's Link Wray? In many ways like Gene Vincent he's one of the lost legends of Rock'n'Roll who has inspired and influenced so many artists like Pete Townsend, Neil Young, the MC5, the Stooges, to name a few. For without Link Wray there would have been no Garage Punk, no Punk Rock and even no Heavy Metal.

What you now hold in your hand is a piece of Rock'n'Roll history. In his own words and music you are about to witness the greatest guitar player this planet has ever seen. So sit back, hit that volume control to distortion and listen to The Rumble Man. Way cool daddyo!

The Rumble Man was filmed during Link Wray's UK tour of March '96 and is a mix of live footage and documentary, featuring an extensive interview with the man himself.
