The Fuzztones take a stomp through Link Wray land. If you can never get enough Link Wray covers (and who can?) then you probably need to pick this up.![Link-Protrudi%2526%2BJaymen-hit%2526run-]()
"All the singles and oddities collected. Rudi Protrudi honors Link Wray and a few others with extra raw fuzz garage aplomb. For any fan of the distortometer, this is essential. - Phil Dirt at Reverb Central
Get out your flowered shorts and way up your surf board. Here is a disc that will make you think you're an extra on the old Batman show. Surf guitar and smooth beats set the tone for your very own beach party. This is cool stuff. from: http://www.impactpress.com/articles/aprmay99/musicr4599.html
Set up as a side project to Rudi Protrudi and the Fuzztones, this also functions as a tribute to Link Wray and the Raymen, with no less than eight of the 23 tunes on here being Link classics. Covering everything from "Mr. Guitar" and "Dinosaur" to the obvious choices like "Rumble," "Jack the Ripper" and "Rawhide," the trio also delivers Link-approved originals in "Chicken Choke," "Avalanche," "Backfire" and "Psyclone." Taken from the project's two vinyl albums, Drive It Home and Missing Links, this is straightforward, blast-it-out live-in-a-four-track-studio raunch, devoid of all subtleties. With that in mind, it sounds perfect, totally faithful to the sound and style it's so lovingly recreating here. A delicious alternative to pseudo-surf bands.
