Together with the legendary Link Wray, Robert Gordon released two LPs on Private Stock in 1977/78. These records are considered the best of the rockabilly revival. With them, something completely new emerged from the ashes of rockabilly. There is no trace of dreary revival on either production. It was new music with all its inherent energy and courage to take on new things, while being firmly rooted in the timeless truth of rockabilly. For the sessions on the second LP, Bruce Springsteen contributed Fire, a song he had written for Elvis. He also played piano on these sessions. It was the age of punk and new wave. Robert's music not only convinced those to the contrary, for whom no good records were made after 1957. Young people who had previously grooved to the sounds of Blondie, the Ramones or other big names of the day suddenly became collectors. Great music creates that kind of thing! Each of the two Robert Gordon-Link Wray LPs contains a bonus track.

Robert Gordon's 1977/'78 PRIVATE STOCK LPs with the legendary Link Wray were the best rockabilly revival records because they created something new from the ashes of rockabilly. It wasn't revivalism to either of them – it was new music with all the energy and edginess of new music, rooted in rockabilly's timeless truths. And during the sessions for the second LP, Bruce Springsteen contributed a song, Fire, that he'd written for Elvis. He played piano on the session, too. This was the age of Punk and New Wave, and Robert's music not only made believers of those who didn't think any great records had been made since 1957, but made converts of kids who were grooving to Blondie, the Ramones, and the other big acts of the time. Great music will do that! Both Robert Gordon & Link Wray LPs contain bonus songs.

Robert Gordon

When interest in rockabilly had sunk to a low point, Robert Gordon brought the style renewed international recognition. Born on 29 March 1947 in Bethesda, Maryland, he heard Elvis Presley's 'Heartbreak Hotel' on the radio at the age of nine and knew from then on what he wanted to do with his life. His vocal style was strongly shaped by Gene Vincent, Jack Scott and Billy Riley.

In 1970 Gordon moved to New York City and became lead singer of the punk band The Tuff Darts, who featured on the sampler 'Live At CBGB's'. The producer Richard Gottehrer teamed him up with the guitar legend Link Wray; their 1977 debut album 'Robert Gordon with Link Wray' blended 1950s rockabilly classics with Wray originals, and the single 'Red Hot' made it into the pop charts.

For the album 'Fresh Fish Special' Gottehrer brought in the Jordanaires on backing vocals; it also included 'Fire', a composition by Bruce Springsteen. In 1979 Gordon moved to RCA, where the Briton Chris Spedding replaced Link Wray on lead guitar; 'Rock Billy Boogie' became his best-selling album. On 'Are You Gonna Be The One' (1981) original songs took centre stage, among them Marshall Crenshaw's 'Someday, Someway', which briefly reached the charts. In 1982 Gordon turned to acting, appearing in Kathryn Bigelow's feature debut 'The Loveless' alongside Willem Dafoe. He died on 18 October 2022.
