Robert Gordon With Link Wray (1977) [Complete CD Reissue]

Two Of My Recommended Albums

In December 2019 I uploaded Link Wray's now deleted and unavailable 1979 album Bullshot to the channel. It has received several comments from listeners asking for more Link Wray material. As requested, here are some more Link Wray recordings.

In the late 1970's and early 1980's there was a rockabilly revival. Robert Gordon was one of the best vocalists to come out of that rockabilly revival period but, unfortunately, he never received the recognition or commercial success his vocal talents deserved.

In 1977 Robert Gordon recorded two albums with Link Wray: Robert Gordon With Link Wray and Fresh Fish Special. Both were originally released on RCA Records but are featured here on this Ace Records CD reissue from 1997. I'll upload the original 1977 RCA Records vinyl in future.

The album tracks are mostly covers of 1950's rockabilly material. The other musicians backing Robert Gordon and Link Wray on these recordings were members of Bob Dylan's touring band at the time.

This CD is still available. If you want to buy it here is a link: https://www.amazon.com/Robert-Gordon-...​
