Music reviews of Wray's Three Track Shack
Music Review: A Towering Momento
Rating: 5 Stars
How I've sweated on the re-release of the epigymous, Link Wray album, one of the early 70s masterpieces of Americana, rich and raw in a way 'The Band's' lauded albums could only simulate. Like liner notesman, John Collins, I picked up Wray's early music in remainder bins. John Fogerty, even Lonnie Mack, were better received, striking similar grooves. But Link was right out there, quiveringly, his own man.'Fire & Brimstone', an enduring favourite, has the power of an incantation; stupendous vocals from a one-lunged man!. Collins notes 'in the late 60s there was a studied attempt by such musicians as The Band,Neil Young, Guy Clark and David Ackles, all in their own way, to evoke a rock'n'roll vision of Americana, of white clapboard chapels, dungareed farmers, dusty drifters and outlaws.' But Wray and his two brothers weren't aping any mystical, mythical rural past...from the outside looking in. They weren't even speaking for the white-man poor. They were by his own admission,'Shawnee poor'. His vernacular is, up and down, the rockin' truth, no prisoners taken. The menacing throb he pulls from Willie Dixon's,'Tail Dragger' exemplifies his own take on the Blues. This dizziness subsides with the lovely mandolin interlude of,'Beans and Fatbatback' before the full-on rocker,'I'm So Glad' is unleashed. Neighbours beware. You wouldn't want to be duelling with these dudes.'Shawnee tribe' is simply magnificent, ripping into the heart of a remembered past, a wordless humming, intermittently augmented with some barking acoustics. This is everything that Robbie Robertson's explorations of his indigenous roots lacks. I wonder what they played at Link's funeral? May he rest in peace.
Description of Wray's Three Track Shack
In the early 1970's the legendary Link Wray made a critical comeback with the much vaunted 'Link Wray' album on the then recently launched US Polydor Label. Recorded in a shack in the middle of a Maryland wood the primitive sound stood out amongst the 'High Tech' recording being released at that time. altogether three albums were recorded in this way including 'Beans & Fatback' (Released on the then new Virgin label in the UK) and the only known album by 'Mordicai Jones' a mysterious figure who takes lead vocal on an album which is a Link Wray album in all but name. Three full albums on two CD's. Acadia. 2005.Classic Rock CDs
