Link Wray and the Wraymen -- "Deuces Wild"
One of my favorite Link Wray tracks -- according to legend, this was made up on the spot in the studio: Link started playing, the band jumped in, and the tape happened to be rolling. While it's true that there's nothing spectacularly complex going on here, still, this is the kind of thing that only a well-practiced band, one seasoned with plenty of innovation and improvisation, can pull off. As usual, Link's guitar sound is completely bad-ass. He was the first to sound like this.
