At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.
This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

Filthiest, nastiest guitarist of his time, godfather of modern guitar
Link Wray is the greatest unsung pioneer of modern guitar-based rock, not only the inventor of the power chord and crazy new forms of distortion, this original axe barbarian combined rockabilly-tinged aggression, amped up blues, and uniquely...

20 hunks o' tooth-smashing instro rock goodness!
It's pretty simple: If you fork over your hard-earned cash for this disc, you will be happy. That's all there is to it. I mean, seriously, where else are you going to find such raucous genius? This stuff makes the Sex Pistols sound like a knitting...

old school raunch and roll
Link Wray isn't fancy or a screaming virtuoso the likes of Satriani, Vai, or Petrucci. What he is is a good old-fasioned axe slinger that knows how to turn a simple melody, a few power chords, and a little groove into great rock and roll. You...

I Like Link Wray...
The first chord of "Rumble" always makes me smile, as it reminds me of the original Svengoolie, (Those in Chicago in the early '70's know what I'm talking about). Remarkable that radio stations banned this tune for fear of youth riots!

Link Wray - The one you are looking for
If you've discovered Link Wray through Quentin Tarantino's moovies this album is *exactly* what you're looking for. Tracks 1 to 7 are original versions of the very best instrumentals from LW ("Rumble", "Fat Back", "Jack the Ripper", "Ace of...

The missing Link
I had a brief listen to this album on line but should have probably listened to more of the tracks available before I bought it. Very disappointing. Not recommended to anyone other than a die hard Link Wray fan.

Guitar rock at its finest.
One of the most unfairly underrated performers in the history of rock n roll, Link Wray was a wild, wooly guitar slinger who, since the late 50s, has been churning out platter after platter of raw, vicious instrumental rock. His music is simple,...

Your LINK To A Better Life
Link Wray was the real deal-A true rock an roll rebel if there ever was one. He didn't want to play it safe. He wasn't interested in soothing your ears as much as he was jamming pencils in them, and I mean that in a good way. As we all know(or...

Only for late middle-aged 1950's music fans!
The title song "Rumble" was one of the "rebel" songs of the '50s. Other than that and a couple of other cuts that were hits at the time, this album probably deserves the obscurity it already has. From an historical viewpoint, it's interesting to...
