History
Duane Eddy (April 26, 1938 – April 30, 2024) was born in Corning, New York, and picked up the guitar at age five, inspired by Gene Autry. His family settled in Arizona in the early 1950s, where he met Phoenix DJ and producer Lee Hazlewood, who helped him develop his trademark "twang": melodic riffs played low on the bass strings, thick with reverb and echo, backed by his band the Rebels and the honking tenor sax of Steve Douglas. Their partnership produced a run of instrumental hits starting with "Rebel-'Rouser" (1958, US #6), followed by "Cannonball," "Ramrod," "Peter Gunn" and "Because They're Young." Eddy scored 15 Top 40 hits between 1958 and 1963 and sold more than 100 million records worldwide; his 1959 debut LP, Have Twangy Guitar Will Travel, spent 82 weeks on the charts. He won a Grammy for "Peter Gunn" in 1986, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, and was the first rock guitarist to get a signature model guitar. He later recorded with Dan Auerbach and influenced players from George Harrison to Bruce Springsteen.
