Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capitalizing on the massive success of his signature guitar sound, the instrumentalist delivers a quintessential set of heavily reverberated, low-register rock and roll. The driving rhythms and prominent use of saxophone solos bridge early rockabilly energy with the burgeoning surf music aesthetic. The record solidified his immense influence on a generation of future rock guitarists.
