Link Wray & His Ray Men - Jack the Ripper (2019)

Link Wray is characterized as a seminal guitarist whose work embodies the inherent "danger" of rock and roll. Unlike the polished virtuosity of his contemporaries, Wray’s style is defined by a noisy, menacing aesthetic and raw sonic aggression. Although his recognition in certain markets surged later during the late 1980s neo-rockabilly revival, his mid-60s recordings for the Swan label remain the pinnacle of his influential career. These sessions solidified his reputation for creating a provocative, unrefined sound that prioritizes atmospheric tension over traditional technical flair.
