  • Description

    24 killer cuts from the King Of Twang, including Rebel-Rouser, 40 Miles Of Bad Road, Peter Gunn, Some Kinda Earthquake, and many more.

    With his trademark red Gretsch, shy demeanour, movie star's good looks and instantly-identifiable 'twangy' style, Duane Eddy was Rock'n'Roll's first major instrumental star. He introduced an entirely new sound to popular music by plucking dramatic, single-string lead melodies on the lower, bass strings of his axe, and making liberal use of the 'bendy' effect offered by the (then, relatively-new) tremelo arm.

    His echo-drenched records - with their signature saxes and whooping rebel yells - were both innovative and influential, laying down the mark for a whole new genre of R&R which would embrace the likes of The Champs, Johnny & The Hurricanes, The Ventures, The Shadows and all their many and varied acolytes.

    Between 1958-64 Duane scored 27 hit singles in the United States, 21 in the UK - and no less than 10 chart LPs, at a time when precious few R&R artists registered hit albums. During this period alone, he sold some 15 million records worldwide. Movin' 'N' Groovin' collects 24 of these classic tracks.
