Description: Link Wray, born Fred Lincoln Wray Jr. in 1929, was a pioneering guitarist and songwriter whose raw, distorted sound helped shape rock music for generations. Best known for his groundbreaking 1958 instrumental “Rumble,” Wray achieved his signature gritty tone by intentionally damaging his amplifier speakers, creating a sound far ahead of its time. Though banned by some radio stations for allegedly encouraging juvenile delinquency despite having no lyrics, “Rumble” became hugely influential on punk, metal, indie rock, and alt-country artists. In the late ’70s, Wray teamed with punk rocker Robert Gordon for a rockabilly revival that produced extensive touring and two albums.
