Conventional wisdom is that Duane Eddy's best work was for Lee Hazlewood's Jamie label, between 1958 and 1962, whereas the material he cut for RCA from 1962 to 1965 was sanitized, commercialized and lightweight. One only has to compare the 1964 version of Rebel-Rouser with the 1958 original on this album to see some truth in this.
Eddy's" big" sound prompted John Fogerty to dub him the first rock and roll god. The tremendously influential sound was deep, dark, reverberant,"twangy,"as it was called, surely Southern-fried, influenced by country, blues, jazz and gospel. Eddy created this sound by utilizing strong, dramatic, single-note melodies, bending the low strings, combining echo and vibrato bar with the help of the esteemed Lee Hazlewood, longtime music producer, and Eddy's longtime partner in the recording studio. He also utilized rebel yells from his backing band, and swinging saxophone breaks. Furthermore, his backing were also esteemed musicians. Many of them went on to work for Phil Spector, as he created his "wall of sound." In addition, almost all of them were/are popular studio session men to this day.
Duane Eddy - Shazam
Timeless, I think Mr. Eddy and his band knew they would be immortal through music!
Duane Eddy - Rebel Rouser
This has to be one of the guitar classics of all time! How many guitarists owe TONS to this man...oh yeah, and Les Paul?
