AVID Rock N Roll continues with its Five Classic Albums Plus series with a re-mastered 2CD release from Duane Eddy, complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details.
“Have Twangy Guitar Will Travel”; “Especially For You”; “The Twang’s The Thang;” “$1,000,000 Worth Of Twang, Vol 2” and “Twistin’ “n” Twangin’” plus six bonus tracks.
Developed out of the use of his lead guitars bass strings to achieve the famous “Twanging” sound, Duane Eddy was the real deal who went on to sell 12 million records by 1963 alone! Legendary session musicians who played with his band include Steve Douglas, Jim Horn and Larry Knechtel who themselves would go on to play with Phil Spector and his Wall of Sound, as well as with Bob Dylan. The Stones and Bread to name just a few. He was arguably even more popular in the UK where he won World Musical Personality of the Year in 1960 knocking the mighty Elvis from his perch. Duane Eddy is still out there today playing, recording and touring at age 81….the Twang really is the Thang!
