All Wrays Lead To Rock - The Link Wray Connection CD
A complete CD album to Link Wray's big brother Ray Vernon for the first time.
Everyone who is interested in rock guitarists knows Link Wray.
Ray Vernon was a talented singer and producer, his career closely linked to that of his guitar-playing brother.
He produced numerous recordings by his brother Link and by rockabilly star Marvin Rainwater, The Dial Tones, The Moon Men and others.
These are carefully researched in the liner notes of the accompanying booklet.
Serious talent ran in the Wray family.
We all know the mighty Link Wray, king of the power chord and as bone-crushing a rock guitarist as ever came down the pike, but we all owe a debt of gratitude to his big brother, who went by the handle of Ray Vernon.
Not only was Ray a talented vocalist who briefly tried to gain traction as a 1950s teen idol on Philly's Cameo label, he guided Link's career during the '60s and produced classic 45s on his sibling as well as the considerably less familiar artists featured on All Wrays Lead To Rock - a 34-track extravaganza spotlighting Vernon's prodigious studio skills.
