DUANE EDDY Lonely Guitar 1964 RCA Victor LPM-2798

Record only No Jacket

Step into the soulful, reverberant soundscapes of “The King of Twang” with Duane Eddy – Lonely Guitar, released in 1964 on RCA Victor Records (Catalog No. LPM-2798 Mono / LSP-2798 Stereo). Inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Musicians Hall of Fame, Duane Eddy defined the low-register, vibrato-soaked electric guitar tone that shaped the sound of instrumental rock and roll, surf guitar, and soundtrack music.

Recorded with renowned producer Al Schmitt and arranged/conducted by Marty Paich, Lonely Guitar shifts Eddy’s ferocious rockabilly energy into a richly textured, melancholic atmosphere. Backed by delicate strings, subtle acoustic rhythm sections, and warm studio echo, Eddy’s Gretsch guitar sings through timeless folk ballads, movie themes, and country laments.
