Notes: Duane's
second LP has the great tune Peter Gunn kicking off side
one, but the rest of the record is a mixed bag. His guitar
is there in such instrumental settings as pop tunes, blues
and even a touch of jazz. Quite a few are Eddy/Hazelwood
originals. One must also realize that the entire record
was knocked out in a week or so, which wasn't so strange
back in the dawn of rock and roll. The cover shows a young
Duane and his hollow body Gretsch guitar, although a close
look at the front cover seems to show the F-holes are full
of foam or some such feedback reducer. Not his best LP,
but still worth adding to the collection. You can't go
wrong with Duane, his "twangy" guitar and the
Rebels.
