GA Russell Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Duane Eddy, 'the first rock 'n' roll guitar god,' dead at 86 (msn.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 The first record I ever bought (at about 3 months short of my 15th birthday) was an RCA "Best of" compilation by Duane Eddy. It wasn't too long before I sort of tired of his style and found more interesting R'n'R guitar players elsewhere but later on I did pick up comprehensive vinyl reissues of his Jamie recordings. For completeness sake and to occasionally revive old memories. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 RIP. I liked his twang, though the material was usually lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balladeer Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 The twang is the thang - Duane Eddy was a great innovator of the probably most magical instrument and an outstanding stylist of Rock´n´Roll. Today global hipsters like Hermanos Gutierrez and LAttirail incorporate Eddy´style in their chilling yet rootsy contemporary blend. Twang on in heaven, Duane!
