By the time that the album came out in June, 1959, Duane Eddy was already a superstar -- the first, all-time best-selling instrumentalist in rock ‘n roll history. Duane’s producer Lee Hazlewood committed his legendary perfectionism to this, his first ever fully produced album. It has every conceivable instrumental sound, from romance to blues and jazz.
Out of it, Duane fashioned another two international hits, “Peter Gunn” and “Yep.”. This album only enhanced his reputation and built his respect among rock and instrumental communities. Coming from Duane’s original label that built the artist into his international success, the album includes never-before-released cuts and three chart records. Along with previously unreleased archive photos and historic liner notes, this release will appeal to all fans of Duane Eddy while building a new generation of admirers among those who’ve heard him -- in Forrest Gump, Chevrolet commercials among many other uses -- without realizing his stature or range.
