Interesting article. I had never heard of the guy, but the article mentions one of his hits from 1958, "Peter Gunn" with its twangy guitar sound.
I have enjoyed many listens to Gary Hoey's version without knowing it was a cover of Duane Eddy's original. It's got some of that Dick Dale vibe... Gary of course was a big fan of both Dick Dale and the surf scene (having done the soundtrack for Endless Summer II). For a nice collection of surf-centric tunes in one place, check out Gary's studio version and the rest Monster Surf: Surf Songs that Really Rock Edited: 05/05/2024 at 09:56 AM by CurtisEflush |

Imagine the reaction when the parents of teen kids and preachers from all walks first heard this. The devil has arrived!

Real Rockabilly legends never really die . They just slowly fade away into our own personal memorizes. Duane and his contemporary Gene Vincent ruled the day.***** While we are on the subject , JB will probably disagree with me ,but I say that the early Rockabilly Scene was just about as full on PUNK as you can get . Those guys were all fueled on alcohol , jacked up on speed and played all night till their fingers bleed .Very hardcore indeed !****
