Link Wray "Bullshot" cassette tape

Like everything Link Wray, this is hard to find. It’s from 1979, after Link’s rebirth with Robert Gordon, but before his full 90s “grandpa in leather” renaissance. This record, like most everything Link made, is fast, loud and awesome. It has covers of “Switchblade” and “Rawhide,” along with his unforgettable cover of Dylan’s “It’s All Over Now Baby Blue.” Link may not have invented Rock and Roll (though that’s debatable), but he almost definitely invented Rock Music. If you like The Who or The Kinks or guitars, this is essential stuff.
