Whenever Rabel Rouser comes up on an oldies station or playlist, there’s no doubt whatsoever what you’re about to hear.
I just heard of his passing a day or two ago. Ironically I had recently purchased a Greatest Hits CD of Duane Eddy.

This is on you might remember from the late '59s "Forty Miles of Bad Road"

That's a shame, but he left us with some great music. I think that for his grandchild, life was a constant "Struggle."

I seem to remember Rumble was recorded by Link Ray.
Yes, my mistake. Duane did cover it on an album, I believe.
