"Goodtime Joe" by Link Wray. I can't find it anywhere. It's a crime that album with Goodtime Joe,Rocket 88,and Backwoods Preacher Man hasn't been put back into production.
If you ain't heard Link Wray play Goodtime Joe,you ain't heard rock and roll guitar.

Yeah,that's the man. If you ever get a chance to buy his 1973 Polydor album that is titled,"Link Wray Rumble",buy it! I think it went out of print in 74,and has never been re-released. I finally wore out my second copy,and the only new one I could find was in Germany,and I had to pay 130 bucks for the damn thing! If you had any idea how cheap I am,that would really mean something to you. I never paid even $20 for a album before or since.
BTW,seems like he put out a couple of albums with "Rumble" in the title because it was his best known hit. If it doesn't have Goodtime Joe,Backwood Preacher Man,or Rocket 88 on it,it's not the right one.
I've never been able to find it either,but a friend of mine did find just that one song one time at one of those download sites. He just couldn't remember which one when I asked him.
What is the oddest is that "Link Wray Rumble" was his best album and his best selling album. Yet it is the one that has never been re-released.
