Guitar legend Duane Eddy looks back on recording 'Rebel Rouser' and the hit songs on 'Have Twangy Guitar Will Travel' with Lee Hazlewood in Phoenix.
"I was in the basement with my dad, cleaning up down there or something, and I saw this thing against the wall," the man who grew up to become the most successful instrumental artist in the history of rock 'n' roll recalls. Eddy's father showed him what it did, teaching his son a few chords.
He and Delbridge formed a country duo, Jimmy & Duane. Eddy sang and played guitar while Delbridge harmonized and played piano. Meanwhile, Jimmy & Duane were making frequent trips to Phoenix for Ray Odom's Arizona Hayride shows at Madison Square Garden. "But a bunch of desert rats, I guess they don't care. They like to be grand about things. Anyway, we'd play on the stage, which was a wrestling ring. And we had to be careful. If you stomped too hard, the reverb in our amps would crackle and go bang.
His first attempt,"Moovin' n' Groovin'," was released on Jamie Records out of Philadelphia, giving Eddy his first entry on the Billboard chart — No. 72. The album, Eddy's first, hit No. 5, spending 82 weeks on the charts, while winning fans around the world. "You take this instrument that everybody has," he says. "You can go to a store and buy it. But nobody can pick it up and sound like that except Duane Eddy.
"In the morning, we'd take almost 45 minutes just to get everybody awake 'cause all the musicians in Phoenix, they worked until 1 in the morning," Eddy says."So they came in all bleary-eyed."
