Riffing on Link Wray: When a Record Finds You.

A text from a friend. A song at the end of an episode of "Barry." An original first pressing discovered at Underdog Records.That's how this week's #VinylRiffs came together.I'm diving into Link Wray's remarkable , eponymous 1971 album, "Link Wray. It is far beyond "Rumble" and into a record that feels unreal, surreal, and deeply human. We'll talk about "La De Da," why it stopped me in my tracks during "Barry," and what this overlooked masterpiece teaches us about authenticity, reinvention, and having the courage to become something new.Sometimes the best records find us exactly when we need them.Keep spinning. Keep grooving. Keep believing.
