Duane Eddy Artist Snapshot:

Asked to name his greatest contribution to rock, Duane Eddy replied, "I never sang." But he was being modest; he could most certainly make the guitar sing. In fact, Eddy's distinctive trademark twangy guitar--refined in collaboration with famed producer Lee Hazlewood--graced a long string of some of the best instrumental rock records ever made, and helped define the sound of classic rock & roll in the late 1950s and early '60s.

Review

Musician (10/93, p.93) - "...Duane Eddy's elegant instrumentals contain a fascinating kernel of weirdness....the cream of [TWANG THANG] is the early (Pre-Beatles) stuff, where Eddy transcends his blandness with his stylish, ultra-cool presence..."

Title Note

Includes 6 previously unreleased tracks and a booklet with photos and liner notes.

David Letterman once asked first-generation rock & roll guitar hero Duane Eddy what his most important contribution to music was, to which Eddy replied without a pause "I never sang." The music collected on this typically definitive Rhino career retrospective goes a long way to proving Eddy's instrumental prowess. He had a simple formula--simple melody lines played on the lowest strings of the guitar and than heavily echoed--but it proved surprisingly adaptable and tremendously influential. Brian Wilson stole the opening riff from Eddy's "Movin' and Groovin' " for "Surfin' U.S.A.," and Ennio Morricone's scores for Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns are drenched in Eddy-derived guitar lines.

As you might expect, all the hits are here, from the infectious 1958 smash "Rebel Rouser" to the 1986 re-make of the theme from PETER GUNN that Eddy recorded with the Art of Noise. There are also some interesting oddities, including the Jeff Lynne-produced "The Trembler," which Trent Reznor remixed to great ominous affect for the soundtrack of Oliver Stone's NATURAL BORN KILLERS.
