Link Wray was the inventor of the Power Chord, the God of the rock 'n' roll instrumental. The power and awe of his timeless classics like Rumble and Rawhide will never deminish, and are still used throughout the Hollywood film industry.
This shirt pays homage to both the rock and film industry as it celebreates the great axemen with the great Mafia film, the Godfather.
Delmer Spudd & the Spuddnicks - Tom Cat Boogie Rock-A-Billy Records
Time to fess-up here. I'd never heard of Delmer Spudd until today, when I saw a link to this song on Facebook. The Rock-A-Billy Record Company from Denver, Colorado, was founded by rockin' legend Willie Lewis and ran through most of the '80s and '90s with a roster that included among others, Go Cat Go, Ronnie Dawson, Marti Brom and High Noon.
From what I've found out, Delmer Spudd & the Spuddnicks are Willie Lewis, Mike Taveira, Ed Debord and Mike Baird. Whoever they are, the music is brilliant. It's a real slap bass rocker with great vocals, bass and guitar.
For more examples of this type of straight-up rockabilly, check out the International Rockabilly Asscociation page on Facebook. There's some crackers posted on there everyday.
