{"product_id":"king-of-the-wild-guitar","title":"King Of The Wild Guitar","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver the years, there were many sides to Link Wray – Elvis-crooner Link, country \u0026amp; western Link, acoustic Link, one-man-and-his-drum-machine Link, even San Francisco Jerry Garcia-flavoured Link – but rightly towering above all these in the popular imagination is the original blueprint that he nailed down once and for all during a recording session in the spring of 1958 for an instrumental smash entitled Rumble. That day saw the first recorded evidence of the Link you’ll find on this CD. This is the man with the Danelectro Longhorn guitar plugged into a brace of wired-together amps cranked up as loud as they can go, who punched holes into the speakers with a pencil just to get the right distortion and went on to record a blizzard of killer instrumentals in a shack out in the woods, oblivious to changing trends and mop-topped newcomers from Liverpool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection brings together on one disc the highlights in the Ace catalogue of the full-throttle, slicked back, black-leather-and-shades Link. It spans almost forty years of recording and includes some of the most primal instrumentals ever put to tape by the King of the Wild Guitar. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ace","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50437867372875,"sku":"283461","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/8c1b9f73-c302-4a00-970d-6d7d536af3c3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726936022","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/king-of-the-wild-guitar","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
