Duane Eddy is one of the most underrated musicians in the world. His arrangements have all stood the test of time - they take me back to the early sixties. Just fabulous!
I have heard that Duane Eddy is the father of modern rock guitar. I believe it. I first heard his music and started listening around 1959 or 1960. I was 5 or 6 years old.
Add the 1950's as well. He was married to Jessie Colter years ago and she married the baddest outlaw in outlaw country music Waylon Jennings and were inseparable until Waylon's death
He doesn't play anything no one else can play, but no one else ever made it sound like that. He doesn't even need the same guitar or amp, he just IS Duane Eddy.
Been a Duane Eddy fan forever, first record I bought was Peter Gunn and still love it, it was so different from anything at time, never heard any other star have bad word to say about the great man!!
I heard this song for the first time in the Forrest Gump movie and liked it. I played it for my Dad one day he told me that this was one of his father's favorite songs when my dad was a kid. So I went over to.my Grandads house an played it for him. He told he hasn't heard it in over 30 years. Im 49 yrs old now and Granddad has past so when I ever hear this it brings back so manny memories. Thanks for posting. Nj
Duane Eddy was one of Arizona's first rock and roll stars. "The Twang heard 'round the world". It's great to see he''s still going strong after all these years, he is a tremendous guitarist, deserves much more credit than he's received. When I moved to Phoenix in '75 I ate at a popular mex restaurant called La Cucaracha, across the street from Audio Recorders where Duane and many other Arizona musicians recorded their hits.
My Favorite Duane Eddy song has always been Forty Miles of Bad Road. That did not stop me from blasting the neighbors with Rebel Rouser when it came on the radio!! My brother used to tell me having me for a little sister was definitely better than Forty Miles of Bad Road... I think it was my first exposure to a left handed compliment... Soundtrack of my youth 🎼🖤
I've never heard - honestly - a guitarplayer like him who works the acoustic so deep downstairs - near a border where the technic reached a border - so to speak. Very great !!! And it always sounds good !!! Unmatched....
Saw Duane Eddy when he was touring Britain in the early 1960's. As good as his records and his sax player was fabulous. Great that he's still going strong.
¡Oh my god my god!, is impossible to hold back the. Oh ! oh. It was a boy in my dominican Republic, I'm marked. Oh! oh. I'm 56 years old. Thanks for everything Duane and Peter from Madrid. Good bless for ever.
Before I became a teenager, I had to listen to that record numerous times until I knew it. I think I started playing guitar at the age of 10 or 11 and if you could play rebel Rowser, you was rocking back then buddy.❤😂
Duane Eddy and the Ventures are who hooked me line in sinker into the surfin' sound of the '60's. I don't remember my youthful age but I was walking home one evening and passed by the old Retail Clerks''s building in Buena Park, CA when Duane was playing. I think I stood on that street corner listening for close to 45 minutes before resuming my walk home.
Interesting that Duane's music which was just rock n roll and a bit of surf music is now rockabilly. Bottom line: Great music and we are so fortunate to be able to watch/listen to all of this great music fro the past. Thanks to everyone who has contributed...Ed
First tune I learnt on Guitar bought the nearest copy type guitar i could afford sounds good but he sounds fabulous . Duane Eddy is the king of Twang and a brilliant musician . Don't care what anyone says you cannot emulate that sound and that takes skill👍👍
That guitar was about the first sound I can remember that began me on the trail of R'nR. I was 9, my cousin 14. He had a guitar and was trying to learn it all. '57/'58...Duane Eddy, Link Wray, Chuck Berry, and then all hell broke loose....
"Rebel Rouser" es un instrumental del famoso guitarrista estadounidense Duan Eddy que fue publicada en Abril del año 1958. Para los críticos, la técnica y las composiciones de Eddy son tan importantes como el papel que jugó Chuck Berry en darle rienda suelta al Rock and roll en estado natural. Es que pese a que sonaran algo simples, y con una base repetitiva, las obras de este músico oriundo de Nueva York quedaron como una buena influencia para otras bandas, que tomaron sus acordes para crear nuevos sonidos y experimentar otra dosis de rock. De ahí, que Duan Eddy no puede ser olvidado, menos si fue el pionero en utilizar varias técnicas de estudio para modificar el sonido de su tan aplaudida guitarra.
My dad loved this song, first 45 I ever saw him buy, played it all the time with the center adapter for the bigger hole in the center of the record👍❤👏🎸🎶🎷📣
On this day in 1963 {December 28th} "The Son of Rebel Rouser" by Duane Eddy entered the Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart for a two week stay, peaking at #97... Five years earlier on June 24th, 1958 Duane Eddy's original "Rebel Rouser" entered the Top 100; eventually it peaked at #6 and stay on the Top 100 for 14 weeks... Between 1958 and 1963 he had twenty-seven records make the Top 100; with three reaching the Top 10 {his biggest hit was "Because They're Young", it peaked at #4 in 1960}...
Awsome man and great on the guitar. The album i would love to hear is, Lonely guitar , it came out in 1966 or1967. I was overseas when someone had brought it too Germany
I'm 40 and was named after him. My dad played guitar and I love who I was named after! Everytime someone goes to spell my name they start with Dw haha, WRONG! It's Duane!
Rebel Rouser was my high school fight song played at all football games. It was Fairfax High School Fairfax, Va. We were the Fairfax High Rebels. A Confederate Flag was on all of our letter jackets. Of course today that is not PC. So I am sure it got changed.
Duane has always been revered in the the UK so his music was always on the radio and jukebox here while I was growing up. Even in the 80's I knew young guitarists who idolised him. He is a Legend to us Brits!
Very simple and clean, takes us back to yesteryear. Have a bunch of classic cd's and yes cassettes I play when I go to car shows. Folks tend to walk by and hang out longer than they thought. And since I do play a sax me a tad partial to them.
