duane eddy - rebel rouser (1958)

in 1957 eddy met lee hazlewood, an arizona disc jockey who wrote songs and published music. by the late '50s, hazlewood had branched out into production and had his own recording studio before duane began recording, his principal influence had been chet atkins, but at hazlewood's suggestion, he started concentrating on guitar lines at the lower end of the strings. eddy's records were huge influences on legions of budding guitar players. in england, the shadows no doubt took eddy as one of their chief inspirations for their spare, moody sound, as one listen to their most famous hit, "apache," makes obvious. more subtly, his influence can also be heard in the work of george harrison. for evidence, listen to the growling riffs that decorate the verse of "i want to hold your hand." this was recorded in a phoenix studio that had an echo chamber what was originally a large water tank. a speaker was placed at one end of the tank, the microphone at the other, and the guitar "twang" was piped in there, according to eddy. hand claps and shouts were provided by the sharps, who later changed their name to the rivingtons and hit with "papa-oom-mow-mow" and "the bird's the word."
