Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Fully twangin' originals.......2005-02-14

There are many Duane Eddy compilations on the market, often available very cheaply, but many say in the small print something like "tracks may have been re-recorded by the original artist to ensure high quality". One wonders how many times Duane Eddy has gone into a studio for a few hours to knock out his greatest hits with a couple of anonymous sidemen, and why this would make better sense commercially to anyone than licensing the original tracks. The originals have passed into history and have a value as artifacts that is unique and that re-recordings can never have, however good. 

Duane Eddy is long overdue for an extensive reissue programme and a comprehensive compilation spread over two or three CDs. Meanwhile, this useful collection contains 19 fully twangin' original recordings from his Jamie period up to 1961, with Lee Hazlewood in the producer's chair and the Rebels kicking up a storm. Although mostly comprising his hit singles, beginning with his first, Moovin''n' Groovin, and including Because They're Young, the theme from the film in which he also had an acting role, as well as the Peter Gunn theme, there are also couple of tracks from his 1960 album Songs Of Our Heritage on which he swaps his usual Gretsch, with its heavy duty strings fed through an echo chamber, for a conventional guitar.
