I missed an opportunity to see him at a small club here in Atlanta earlier this year. Wish I went now.

I saw him twice this year in the same week. At the second show (sponsored by the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame) he played shortly after Scotty Moore & DJ Fontana.

All the other times I had seen Link, he took the stage playing Rumble (no introductions).

This time he took pause to say that if it wasn't for Scotty, and DJ and Elvis all those years ago, none of "this" would be happening today. That's not to say that Elvis invented rock and roll, but those guys did take it to the masses.

I still look in the bins at music stores for something I may not already have and I discovered such an album (released last year). I recommend the "unreleased" Candence sessions title "They're Outta Here", Says Archie. You may have these songs, but not like this. Rewrites whole chapters in the history of rock and roll. Much better than the album Epic eventually released.

I also recommend this collection which has his earliest Starday sides:
