Link Wray was a groundbreaking guitarist whose explosive sound and pioneering techniques left an indelible mark on rock and roll. He's best known for his instrumental hit "Rumble," released in 1958, which introduced the power chord to the world and has since been a massive influence on countless rock musicians. Wray's raw and gritty style set the stage for genres like punk and hard rock long before they had names.
Even though Link passed away in 2005, his spirit lives on in the music scene. Recent releases like "Live at Rockpalast 1978" and "Legendary Rock & Roll for 2022" showcase his enduring influence and the timelessness of his sound. With albums such as "Bullshot" and "Vernon's Diamond" continuing to captivate new generations, Wray's legacy as a true guitar hero remains firmly intact.
