Review: Link Wray magical on new ‘Son of Rumble’ instrumental recording (Includes first-hand account)

“Son of Rumble” has a great guitar tone to it, and this instrumental is more upbeat and captivating. This is the iconic guitarist’s never-released follow-up to “Rumble.” In April of 2018, it will be released as a vinyl 7″ and it will be backed with another unreleased track, “Whole Lotta Talking.”

Wray’s original “Rumble,” from 1958 was the song that introduced the world to power chords and intentional distortion, and it solidified Wray as the “Grandfather of Rock and Roll.”
