Rumble (instrumental)
"Rumble" is an instrumental by Link Wray & His Ray Men. Originally released in April 1958 as a single with "The Swag" as a B-side and recorded in 1954, "Rumble" utilized the techniques of distortion and feedback, then largely unexplored in rock and roll. The piece is one of very few instrumental singles banned from the radio airwaves.〔Robert Rodriguez, ''The 1950s' Most Wanted: The Top 10 Book of Rock & Roll Rebels, Cold War Crises, and All-American Oddities'' (Brassey's, 2006), (94 ).〕 It is also one of the first tunes to use the power chord,〔Zitz, Michael. Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star. Fredericksburg, VA. ("Fredericksburg Offered up Fertile Spot for Rock's Roots" ) December 20, 2005.〕 the "major modus operandi of () modern rock guitarist".〔(AllMusic's Link Wray Biography )〕
==History==
At a live gig in Fredericksburg, Virginia, attempting to work up a backing for The Diamonds' "The Stroll," Link Wray and his Ray Men came up with the stately, powerful blues instrumental "Rumble," which they originally called "Oddball." The instrumental was an instant hit with the live audience, which demanded four repeats that night.
Eventually the instrumental came to the attention of record producer Archie Bleyer of Cadence Records, who hated it, particularly after Wray poked holes in his amplifier's speakers to make the recording sound more like the live version; however, Bleyer's stepdaughter loved it and it was released despite his protest. Phil Everly heard it and suggested the title "Rumble", as it had a rough sound and said it sounded like a street fight.
It was banned in several radio markets because the term ''rumble'' was a slang term for a gang fight, and it was feared that the piece's harsh sound glorified "juvenile delinquency."〔(Rolling Stone Obituary )〕 It became a hit, not only in the United States, where it climbed to number 16 on the charts in the summer of 1958, but also in Britain, where it has been cited as an influence on The Kinks and The Who, among others, although it failed to reach the UK charts. The Beau Brummels hit song "Just A Little" borrows the riff from this tune as well.〔(''The rough guide to rock'' ) Rough Guides, 2003, pg. 1 ISBN 1-84353-105-4, ISBN 978-1-84353-105-0〕 Bob Dylan once referred to it as "the best instrumental ever."〔(Wray's 'Rumble' Still Reverberating ) Richard Harrington, Take Note - Rockabilly Hall of Fame〕 Instrumentals were far more common on the Top 40 in the 1950s and early 1960s than in later years. The Dave Clark 5 covered it on their first U.S. studio album, ''Glad All Over'', in 1964.
