[.ca] Have 'Twangy' Guitar-Will Travel

great music - looks like a bootleg:
Although the music is great, the copy I bought cuts out in the middle of the biggest hit on the album, Movin' 'n' Groovin'. It sounds like a mastering error. Also, the packaging is atrocious. The cover is a blurry color xerox. The back has really cheesy graphics. Look for the vinyl original.

Necessary Rock & Roll:
This is a landmark album in every sense of the word. Fantastic stereo quality after receiving a replacement copy from Jamie for my defective disc. Hard to say where Rock would be without this. This is important historical music. A necessay addition to any collection.

Incredible Sound Quality:
If you want to hear songs like "Rebel Rouser" and "Cannonball" as they were meant to be heard, this is the CD to buy. The vibrations of the bass string have a presence missing on other CDs containing the same songs.

Delete my posted review:
please delete my review. The label got in touch with me and offered to replace my defective copy, and they told me that they scrapped the entire run of defective discs.

Arizona's own guitar legend!:
Okay, so maybe, as a proud native of the Grand Canyon State, I'm hopelessly biased, but this first album from Coolidge, AZ's favorite son is among my handful of all time top picks! There is a quality to Duane's early music (recorded entirely at Lee Hazelwood's Pheonix studio) that can only be fully- FULLY- appreciated by other desert-dwellers. Duane's sound is wide-open spaces, echoing canyons, and dry, clean air! It is a jeep ride through the creosote flats of the great Mojave and Sonoran wildernesses! Absolutely inimitable. Having said this I would also like to praise the remarkable eclecticism of this first and greatest All-Instrumental Rock and Roll album. I have heard this album- at least in sections- for about 30 years now (older brother is possibly world's biggest Duane fan!) and I have only recently come to respect the range of styles represented here. Hazelwood and Eddy pulled every possible trick out of their bags in late, great '58: there is real rockabilly ("Cannonball" w/ Al Casey- Duane's truest rockabilly outside of his later "Theme From Dixie"); standard Rock and Roll ("Rebel Rouser"); proto-surf (the legendary "Movin' and Groovin'"); country-rock ("Detour"); standard country ("Anytime"); REAL- (no foolin')- BLUES ("Three-30-Blues"); Rhythm and Blues ("I Almost Lost My Mind"); just a hint of jazz stylin' ("The Lonely One"); and even a stab at what would later be called Folk Rock ("Lonesome Road"). Absolutely incredible! So buy it, tape it, put the top down, and roll on on out! Al
