Link Wray - Bullshot

Review by Ben Moore

Bullshot, the 1973 album by the legendary guitarist Link Wray, is a masterpiece of instrumental rock and roll. The album features Wray's signature distorted guitar sound, which he achieved by poking holes in his amplifier's speakers. The result is a raw and powerful sound that is instantly recognizable as Wray's.

The album kicks off with the title track, "Bullshot," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its driving rhythm and blazing guitar solos. Other standout tracks include "Rumble '71," a reworking of Wray's classic hit "Rumble," and "The Fuzz," which features Wray's brother Doug on vocals.

Throughout the album, Wray's guitar playing is nothing short of jaw-dropping. He effortlessly blends rockabilly, blues, and surf music into a style that is uniquely his own. His solos are full of energy and emotion, and his rhythm playing is tight and precise.
