"Son of Rumble" was apparently the follow up to "Rumble" but not released until now. What a cool tune, recording, and performance! I just preordered my copy. Great news for today.

That is great news, and thanks for posting this unexpected 'new' side from Link. Now if we can just get him to start touring again... |

Wow that's cool. Not what I would expect as a follow-up to Rumble. Maybe that's why it wasn't released? I wish we could get new music from Link on a regular basis. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Has anyone seen the Rumble documentary? Is it primarily about Link or about native American contributions to rock and roll? |

This song has truly been haunting me for the last couple of days. A worthy follow up to Rumble, if not even stronger material, I say! (more notes, for sure Last edited: Dec 05, 2017 14:48:15 |

This song is amazing and an instant classic, maybe even stronger than the original. I adore Link's rockabilly surf tunes and his tone his always great. His discography is still pretty obscure, hopefully more unreleased gems of his will be found. Very underrated |

So awesome. I have such a deep appreciation and respect for Link Wray. Can't say he has not had a huge influence on me. Such a killer tune. —The Me Gustas |

Great track, and it has all the right Link Wray style licks, Have not heard the b side yet I don't mean any disrespect to Link or the people who unearthered this gem but can't help thinking it sounds like a very well done homage - it sounds too neat and tidy, perhaps it was recorded more recently and has been made to sound like an older recording. |

Finally found an audio snippet of the B-side. Sounds like a straight up funk/rnb number, not sure if this style was typical for Link, but a good track nonetheless (posted a link below). https://www.7digital.com/artist/link-wray/release/whole-lotta-talking-7701063 |
