Duane Eddy His "Twangy" Guitar & The Rebels - Ramrod

Review by Jos Bernadus Manullang

Ramrod by Duane Eddy His "Twangy" Guitar & The Rebels is a classic album that showcases the iconic sound of the rock and roll legend. Released in 1958, the album features 12 tracks that display Eddy's signature guitar style, which became known as "twangy."

The album kicks off with the title track "Ramrod," a high-energy instrumental that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Other standout tracks include "Cannonball," "The Lonely One," and "Shazam!" which all feature Eddy's impressive guitar skills and the tight backing of The Rebels.

While the album is primarily instrumental, Eddy's guitar playing is so expressive that it never feels lacking in vocals. The production quality is also top-notch, with the songs sounding crisp and clear even decades later.

Summary by Jos Bernadus Manullang

Ramrod is a must-listen album for any fan of classic rock and roll. Duane Eddy's "twangy" guitar and The Rebels' tight musicianship make for a memorable listening experience that still holds up today.
