(September 2022) Episode 439 is DUANE EDDY. Famous for inventing the iconic “twangy” guitar sound – low strings playing the melody with heavy reverb. Influential to many rock guitarists and spaghetti western soundtracks. But … that twang is all there is. Hundreds of recordings with the same sound overlaid on originals and covers, too often in an easy listening mode.
