Tracks list

Because Theyre Young; Peter Gunn; Pepe; Buckaroo; Yep! , and 31 more
twang-tastic tunes!

All pompadour, cheekbones, and a trademark twangy sound that boomed like it was
recorded at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Duane Eddy was rock & rolls first
guitar-hero. Beginning with Moovin n Groovin (1957), the combination of Eddys
hollow-body Gretch, Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, a tremolo unit, and oceans of echo
racked up dozens of hits. The best (Rebel Rouser, Forty Miles of Bad Road, and
Dance with the Guitar Man) are also typical--Duane twangs a simple melody over
some yakkety sax and much excited yelling in the background. As such, his
worldwide influence on a generation of guitar-pickers was massive. Eddy returned
to the charts in 1986 when the U.K. studio collective, Art of Noise,
collaborated with him on an electronic cut-and-paste version of Peter Gunn (hed
first recorded the tune 26 years earlier). Incidentally, the 40 songs on this 2
CD set include several previously unreleased mid-60s blues and early-80s
superstar sessions that are hipper than the hits. Nevertheless, Eddy remains a
master of tone, timing, dynamics, and--most importantly--feel and expression,
and theres not a single day goes by that some session leader doesnt call for a
Duane Eddy-type guitar sound. --Don Waller
