Reissue of this 1993 album from Link Wray. Fred Lincoln "Link" Wray was an American rock and roll guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist who became popular in the late 1950s. Building on the distorted electric guitar sound of early records, the 1958 instrumental hit "Rumble" by Link Wray & His Ray Men popularised "the power chord" and, according to Rolling Stone, facilitated the emergence of punk and heavy rock. Although he began in country music, Wray s musical style went on to consist primarily of rock and roll and rockabilly. While living in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1970s, Wray was introduced to Quicksilver Messenger Service guitarist John Cipollina by bass player James "Hutch" Hutchinson. He subsequently formed a band initially featuring special guest Cipollina along with the rhythm section from Cipollina's band Copperhead, bassist James "Hutch" Hutchinson, and drummer David Weber.
