R.I.P. Duane Eddy

[Drago]

Dropped off his perch at 86. Now in the sky with the other ghost riders, god bless his soul.

Unless you've been living in a cave, who can fail to be aware of Duane Eddy and his twangy guitar? I was unexpectedly saddened to hear of his passing.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

I have to confess that he was one of those artists that I thought had already died. Came from Arizona, I hear this morning, can't imagine there are too many famous Arizonans (assuming that's the word for them)

 

[Electric_Andy]

Never heard of him, but I've now got him twanging through my speakers at home.

@Electric_Andy and @wafter for two!

to be fair apart from the Art of noise re-release in mid 80's there hasnt been a lot of Duane Eddy for several decades, although Peter Gunn has been used /copied/ sampled a lot.

Perhaps you have to be a certain age, wondering how far down the Grim Reaper's shopping list you might be.

for those who remember the 80's better than the 50's and 60's

Sad news, another pioneer of 50's rock n roll leaves the stage.

I thought he was the keyboard player from ELO. He has just died as well.

Rebel Rouser was one of the first records I ever owned, given to me by a neighbour along with Elvis's Latest Flame when the old man bought a radiogram. I still like both numbers.

I seem to remember there was an art of noise track with Dwayne Eddy featuring on it. Possibly the theme from that US cop show from the 50s or 60s which was remade with that Ghostbuster actor as a comedy. I really should google stuff like this I guess so I know better what I'm writing about.

I’ve been living in a cave

 

[Drago]

I don't have a cave.

Caught squatting again?
