C&L's Late Night Music Club With Link Wray

Think Link!
By Dale Merrill — May 2, 2017

Man, where would've Rock-n-Roll ended up without the master of the power chord himself; Mr. Link Wray?

There's plenty of songs that he did that could highlight the BLAAANG he got six strings through a trashed speaker to do but this one is one of my favorites. Even without any words the sound here warns you that a big city after dark can be seedy, dangerous, covered in blood, lustful, hungry and a whole of fun.

Link was born on this day in 1929. What are you listening to tonight?
