Well this a bummer!
I remember a buddy of mine had a "Wray and the Ray men" record, I was too young to know why I liked it. The adults didn't like it so that meant it had to be cool.
Link covered Prez Prado on that album of unreleased Candence recordings. The adults would have hated that too.
It sounded like Les Paul covering the Velvet Underground, in all the right ways.
Amazing clip! He was as old as my Dad (another Korean War vet), but could still pack more fire n' fury into one chord than most alt-rock hacks can muster on a two-CD set.
Rest in peace, Link. Rock n' roll will miss you terribly.
