Link Wray, “Rumble” (Rhino, 1993; original recordings 1958-79)
Most of this is actually early-to-mid-‘60s work, when Wray’s ominous instrumentals were virtually re-writing the book on rock guitar, with his thick reverb/feedback roar and repertoire of cowboy/gangster movie-music, shadow-casting and weird random noises. “Garage-punk” would never have existed without this dude.
