Link Wray

Jack the Ripper  vinyl

(Sundazed)

This reviewer refuses to squander ink recounting the decades of waxings that earned Link iconic status. Those, plus the savage guitar master's 1970s toils with vocalist nonpareil Robert Gordon, are already widely known. Suffice to say this crisp reissue of North Carolina's son's 1963 Swan LP reminds with definitude of the power-chord's earliest deploy.

Recommended: "Fat Back," "Steel Trap," "Mash Potato Party," "Run Chicken Run," "Deacon Jones"

Video: "Fat Back"
