November is Indigenous Peoples Month, and in this episode, Kylie and Clarissa explore the story of Link Wray, a musician of Shawnee descent whose gritty guitar sound helped shape rock and roll.
In 1957, right here in Fredericksburg, an improvised performance at a local record hop gave birth to Wray’s hit “Rumble,” a song so raw and rebellious it was banned from radio.
From humble beginnings to rock legend, discover how Link Wray’s story, and his sound, still echo through music history today.
