2024 Charity Shop Purchases # 49 - Duane Eddy - 18 Guitar Hits
Duane Eddy died om the 1st of May aged 86. To commemorate his passing George wrote an excellent tribute
At the time I didn't have anything by Duane except perhaps the odd track here and there. That his since been rectified with the purchase of 18 Guitar Greats from BRICC in Ballantrae.
George selected four songs by Duane all of which feature on the album above. That gives me 14 to play with.
I'll start with the first two on the CD (Dance With) The Guitar Man and Peter Gunn and conclude with track 11 Rebel Rouser which is a pretty apt description for the great man(Duane that is not George).
It's good to see him finally residing on the rock'n'roll/rockabilly shelves. Long overdue
I was lucky enough to see Mr Eddy live once. A true gent.
