Robert Gordon & Link Wray: Rumble - Their First European Tour 1978 (2-CD + DVD)

(MIG Music) 40 tracks

While the global music scene in 1977 was dominated by disco, punk, and new wave, two
gifted musicians paid little attention to the trends of the day and instead pursued their own
musical goals with determination. The young Robert Gordon (1947–2022) with his Elvis-style quiff and charming mellowness
in his voice, and the “old rocker” Link Wray (1929–2005) in his leather outfit. In 1958, Wray reached number 16 in the Billboard Hot 100 with the instrumental
“Rumble” as Link Wray & His Ray Men, and his music was used in many films such as
“Desperado,” “Independence Day,” “12 Monkeys,” “Blow,” and “Pulp Fiction.” Gordon and Wray
released two albums in 1977 and 1978:
“Robert Gordon with Link Wray” and “Fresh Fish Special.” After that, they went their separate ways, and Gordon began collaborating with English guitarist Chris Spedding. Live and on
their two studio albums, Gordon and Wray mixed original compositions with original cover versions of Gene
Vincent, Jack Scott, Eddie Cochran, Johnny Burnette, and even Bruce Springsteen.
On January 24, 1978, as part of their first European tour, the two musicians gave a session at the Radio Bremen studios
for “Musikladen Extra.” They were joined by Jon Paris (Johnny Winter's long-time congenial accompanist)
on bass and Anton Fig (Spider and Ace Frehley's Comet, among others) on drums. Fifteen
tracks in the very best picture and sound quality from the station's archives. A few days earlier, the tour entourage
had also been in the Netherlands. From there, there are tapes of an entire concert from January 20, 1978, in
Rotterdam. Robert Gordon himself had arranged for the recording at the Eksit live club. There is also a video recording of the performance at Amsterdam's
Paradiso on January 21, 1978, which was commissioned by the record company at the time
.
This material is now being released under the title “Rumble: Their First European Tour 1978” as the ultimate live
documentation of the work of these two extraordinary musicians.
