Link Wray (1929–2005) was the archetypal rock ‘n’ roll guitarist, a seemingly mythical figure whose sound was shaped by a series of significant life events. Wray recalled, “I’ve got bad eyes and I can’t hear real good so I had to play loud ‘cause I couldn’t play clean…The only reason I was doing instrumentals was because I couldn’t sing.” The Danelectro Guitarlin “Longhorn” shown here dates to Wray’s early stint with Epic Records and is shown on the cover of the group’s first LP record, “Link Wray & The Wraymen”.
