Duane Eddy And The Rebels - Twisting Peter Gunn

Review by Lynne Soraya

Duane Eddy And The Rebels' album Twisting Peter Gunn is a classic piece of instrumental rock and roll. Released in 1962, the album features Eddy's signature twangy guitar sound and the driving rhythm of The Rebels. The album opens with the title track, a reworking of Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn Theme" that adds a catchy twist beat to the familiar melody. Other standout tracks include "Cannonball," "The Lonely One," and "Yep!" which showcase Eddy's virtuosic guitar playing and the band's tight arrangements. The album's sound is a perfect blend of rock and roll energy and instrumental finesse, making it a must-listen for fans of early rock and roll and instrumental music. Twisting Peter Gunn is a classic album from one of rock and roll's most iconic guitarists and his talented band.
