Link Wray - Be What You Want To '1973/2003

Tracks list

 Link Wrays release prior to Be What You Want To had proven the mans
versatility. The self-titled album had obvious influences coming from many
different genres including R&B, country, blues, and, of course, rock. Be What
You Want To continues this trend. Country-rock, country, rock & roll; its all
here. This diverse range of genres may not be to everyones liking, however, and
the album must be approached with an open mind. Wray employed a huge number of
musicians to play on Be What You Want To, including Grateful Dead guitarist
Jerry Garcia. Of course, the main part of the talent comes from Link Wray
himself. His amazing ability as lyricist, songwriter, and musician is noticeably
brought to the fore on this album. Be What You Want To is consistently enjoyable
to listen to and always impressive musically. The mans growling vocals and
rocking guitar will undoubtedly enthrall many first-time listeners and also keep
longtime fans happy.
