The twang is the thang - Duane Eddy was a great innovator of the probably most magical instrument and an outstanding stylist of Rock´n´Roll. Today global hipsters like Hermanos Gutierrez and LAttirail incorporate Eddy´style in their chilling yet rootsy contemporary blend. Twang on in heaven, Duane!
