I feel drowned sometimes in the flow of great stuff to listen to. you know Rumble etc, but lesser, sell-out Link Wray needs your attention, too, says a certain indie rag? and they're right?
Like some hybrid of Exile-era Stones and a post-Beatles solo project*, slingshotting around the same rootsy baselines gone pop-ish, this is all good, all good. Wray's vocals creak and croak just right, guitars packed with slide and chug and buzz and vibration from beyond. Songs are simple and textured, music too, no thing out of place that isn't supposed to be on this one 4.5/5
* example: opener La De Da sounds like a hybrid of some precog stripped-down ancestor of Harrison's Wah-Wah and a regular-time progenitor of the Stones' Tumbling Dice. Complicated
