dave1968 Joined: Jan 04, 2007 Posts: 22 South Kerry, Ireland	Posted on Feb 02 2007 09:53 AM Interesting note on www.legendarysurfers.com from Duane eddys wife. Thought some of you might find of interest. Top
JohnnyMosrite Joined: Jun 14, 2006 Posts: 892 New York City area	Posted on Feb 02 2007 10:15 AM Whether Al Casey had anything to do with the D.E. sound or not is laughable. What are we talking about here ?- 3 of the 6 strings being used and Duane's unmistakable sound. I'm sure Duane may have had a teacher somewhere along the line.. so is the teacher responsible for the "Duane Eddy" sound? Dirt's contention is silly. Roy Buchanan had a teacher name Mrs Precher. (he nicknamed her Mrs Pressure - kind of demanded a lot from ol' Roy, I guess). But Roy's sound is Roy's sound Point is - We all have a coach or teacher somehwere in the day.. but our sound is OUR SOUND. I don't think Al Casey when I hear Duane. MHO - JM Top

CaptainSpringfield Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 4387 Under the Sun	Posted on Feb 02 2007 09:48 PM I know Phil has said that Al Casey's tone on some of Jody Reynolds' recordings was a big influence on Duane's sound, and also that it's Al playing on "Ramrod" and not Duane. I wonder if these are the issues of contention or not. -Warren — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top
Deed Joined: Feb 06, 2007 Posts: 3	Posted on Feb 06 2007 02:05 PM So much has been written by others, trying to explain just where that "Twang" came from. Duane has this to say... "I was living in Phoenix," he recalls, "and doing a few sessions around town. At that time, Bill Justis was on the radio with his sax tune, 'Raunchy.' When my producer and cowriter, Lee Hazelwood, suggested we try recording a guitar instrumental, I went home and wrote 'Movin' 'n' Groovin'.' I had a high-string part and a low riff, so I put them together. The tune barely got on the charts, it reached about 70 with an anchor...but that encouraged us to try again. "I wrote 'Rebel Rouser' in the studio one morning by having the drummer play a backbeat while I riffed on the bass strings. The melody by itself was okay, but I knew it needed something more, so I added tremolo. When 'Rebel Rouser' reached number 6 in 1958, I knew I'd found my sound." I've rewritten this a few times because I find I get too long winded when I approach the subject of Phil Dirt's theory regarding the origin (or truth as he would say) of Duane's style. Let's just say that Mr. Dirt is just not the expert that he would like to appear to be. I know Phil has said that Al Casey's tone on some of Jody Reynolds' recordings was a big influence on Duane's sound, and also that it's Al playing on "Ramrod" and not Duane. I wonder if these are the issues of contention or not. Captain Springfield...Duane had already recorded 'Rebel Rouser' when Jody Reynolds first record, 'Endless Sleep', was released. The instrumental tracks later released by Mr. Reynolds were cut in 1959, and Duane had already had his sixth or seventh chart record by that time. No big influence there, I'm afraid. That is Duane playing on 'Ramrod'. There was a recording of 'Caravan' released with Duane's name on it, on the Gregmark label. However, this is Al Casey playing.. and there was no attempt to make it sound anything like a Duane Eddy record. Crazy, eh? I would like to add this. Duane was extremely saddenned to learn of Al's passing. They had nearly fifty years of history, and he'll be missed. Top
