Active compensatory factors: Guitarist, Link Wray, is probably best known for his 1958 instrumental, Rumble. This 1971 lo fi album was recorded in his remodeled chicken coop at his farm in Maryland. It sounds like it too, as the rough and ready looseness is captured by Wray's Shack Three Track 'studio'.

There are distinctly rough country gospel threads running through the songs on Link Wray - his sixth album since 1960. The country songs on the Stones' Exile on Main Street are country cousins to this album.
Where do they all belong? Wray died in 2005 at the age of 76. His legacy in music is assured - and Link Wray forms part of that legacy.
