beans and fatback

Link Wray strips his sound down to something raw, earthy, and deeply atmospheric on Beans And Fatback. Recorded in the early 1970s at his Maryland “shack” studio, the album captures a gritty mix of swampy blues, backwoods rock, gospel feeling, and rough-edged Americana.

With its stomping grooves, distorted guitar tones, loose three-track production, and soulful rural mood, Beans And Fatback stands as one of Wray's most unpolished and characterful roots-rock recordings.
