Thank you. I just found out too, which is why I'm here, listening!!

Great version. Rest in Peace Duane

Anyone that gives a thumbs down doesn't know much about music. I have listen to him sense I was a kid and I am now 70 years old. The first 45 record was done by him and my forst LP was done by him. I loved his music back then and still loved listening to him today.

I'm in my 79th year, his guitar playing never gets old, takes me back to when I was young, handsome and had hair..cheers Duane.

....and lead in my pencil.

Back in 65 - 66 my older brother, while in high school, worked at a radio station in Yuma. He brought home a demo album, "Duane Eddie does Bob Dylan" ,as it did not fit with the stations format. I swiped that album after a while because I just loved the album and that twang. It was not until Wikipedia came around that I figured out just how famous Duane Eddie is. I still have that album along with the other albums from my junior high and high school years. ... not that many. They have been packed away for decades. ... My brother does not even remember having it.

I am a huge fan of Duane Eddy, he became popular in the late 50's, he was responsible for a lot of people becoming guitar players, sad that he's gone but he left us with a wonderful catalog of recorded music, I usually listen to something every day by Duane, RIP

Guitar genius! Captures the sound of America like nobody else! LOVE TO YOU DUANE AND RIP XXX

When I was a teenager in Phoenix in the 1950's and early 1960's I used to go to a local guitar shop in Maryvale and sit and listen/watch Duane Eddy and Jimmy Bowen play and sing. What sweet memories.

A very Happy 86th Birthday... Duane Eddy April 26, 1938 Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 Many, many more Duane..

I never in my 72 years had the privilege & pleasure of attending one of his concerts or meeting him in person, but have always though of his music as beyond compare. From listening to his interviews, he also seems to be a first-rate individual as well. Thanks for everything, Duane.

I saw him in 66' at the Teenage Fair. He came out with his guitar & jeans, ripped greasy tee-shirt & played "Secret Agent Man." RIP Duane Eddy.

Duane Eddy is the American soul that was when America was a happy land to live in. He grew up at a right time. God blessed him with a gift that He knew would cause people to feel happy and tap their feet! God invented music... Duane was chosen for a good thing meant for all of us. Great music!

I first heard of him while working in a music store. I was playing a Jazzmaster through a Twin Reverb when another salesman came in and asked if I was trying to sound like Duane Eddy. I'd never heard of him until that day. Ever since then I've been a DE fan.

God bless you, Duane, and thank you for the music. RIP.

OMG The old boy still got it!!!! Way to go Duane. Show these kids today. How a guitar is REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED!!!!! 5000stars plus!!! You Still Rock!!! God Bless!!

Hello Kat, How are you doing?

The very first note got me! That sound! So deep, rich, BIG! And the vibrato and reverb add the icing on the cake. Very few things in life are perfect. That sound is. I wouldn't touch any setting.

Man he's got that thing turned in perfectly you couldnt ask for any better than that now could you.

Oh wow ! I have always loved hearing Dwayne Eddy songs. He was amongst the many of the 1960 best. I have always said that with all of the musicians that the Lord has brought home in the past 20 years there must be a hell of a jam session going on. I for one can't wait to hear and see all of all the members. As well as be at a session. Hey yah all save me a cloud please. Tom

One of the top best PLAYERS R.I.P. dear friend R. Watson

Whoo, hoo! Rawhide! Duane Eddy....simply the best! Thank you!

Every note he plays is crystal clear!!! Very impressed! This is the best version of this song in my opinion!

great instrumental version of a great western song.

What a great performance!!! The great Duane Eddy!!! Thanks for the upload!!!

Whichever way you look at it, he earnt his colours and without a doubt earnt his fame, fan loyalty and quite frankly pretty much everything he recorded is timeless and can be shuffle played nearly endlessly without getting boring. Along with the Chantays, The Shadows and The Ventures, and The Tornados (USA), he's one of my major influences in guitar sounds, and the original influence as I grew up listening to his stuff on 8-track as a kid.

Mr. Eddy was 1 of the best ...as git -boxer & human ...got to meet him on his farm in Indiana...+ same goes for Lonnie Mack ..who also was there...I even got to plunk some notes on his red V. cool as get out to play an 58 V...but a custom red that he painted? Freakin priceless...

Duane has joined those ghost riders in the sky.

Fell in love with his music when I was in my early teens back in the 60's and the love is still still there....haven't heard anyone to come up to his speed at this point. He's still fantastic!!

This great song was, I think, originally sung by Vaughn Monroe, of which several versions are available on KZread including a live performance. Frankie Laine did another classic version and so did Johnny Cash. But Duane Eddy really kicks ass here. He's up there ridin' in the sky with the best of them.

​@@SplashgameFTWuh...what? This song was written well before anyone knew who Duane Eddy was. In fact he was about 10 yrs old when this song came out. Written and recorded in the 1940's by Stan Jones. Also recorded by Burl Ives in the 40's. I'm the same age as Duane...and I listened to the original version as a kid hundreds of times

He was part of the golden age in America. We had nothing to worry about but the atomic bomb and with music like that - the Abomb was nothing. We had music in our souls - in our spirit and it was kick assed good music.

One of my favorite songs, one of my favorite musicians!!

In fairness, what Duane is doing with his guitar here is all very easy rhythmic stuff, with little to no real effort or exertion involved. Contrast that with what Stevie Ray Vaughan routinely did in live performances...extreme bends, insane chops and impeccable runs, all of which required intense effort. If you've seen close-ups if Stevie playing, you can see the muscles in his forearm bunching and jumping as he makes his hands do things very few others could manage, and that alone equals considerable pain, both during and afterwards. It's been said that anyone can sound like Stevie...for 30 seconds at a time. Try doing it for a couple of hours! During my many years as a working guitarist, the bands I played with usually closed the show with The Allman Brothers' "Ramblin' Man," followed immediately by Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird." That meant a 15 minute powerhouse workout for me as 1st lead guitarist, usually followed by me icing my left arm all the way up to the elbow.🤣 The electric guitar is an amazing instrument...the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. All the rest is pain, wear and tear, and showmanship. For many guitarists these days, it's all about the "stank face," but to the true professional, you take the pain with the pleasure, and you let it all out where it belongs...on stage. Give it all up to the audience, without whom all of your pain and effort would be meaningless.

@@georgebrown6540 Trust me, no offence was taken. I simply wanted to point out that not all guitar players take it as easy as Duane Eddy usually did. Although he was widely considered to be one of the greatest rock and roll instrumentalists, and rightly so, the style he played was relatively simple and did not require intense physical exertion. However, as early rock and roll gave way to rock, hard rock and heavy metal, the level of intensity and muscular exertion skyrocketed. This is when we first started to see what has since come to be known as "stank face." Some of the greatest guitarists who ever lived were notorious for the ridiculous faces they made while playing, like Jimi Hendrix, Terry Kath, Peter Green, SRV, Gary Moore and many more. Performing at that elevated level sorely taxes the muscles of the hand (small, delicate muscles for dexterity and quickness) and forearm (larger muscles for sheer brute strength), which can translate to considerable amounts of pain, both during and after the performance. I am far from the only guitarist who's needed to ice their fretting hand or forearm after playing three sets a night and finishing the last set with an extreme, 15 minute pyrotechnic workout. Personally, though, I don't usually do the "stank face" thing; instead I tend to zone out somewhat, concentrating so fiercely on what my hands are doing that I'm unaware of what my face might be doing. This has caused me to actually drool on my guitar several times during the most intense solos.🤣

First Album I ever bought was Rebel Rouser. Many years later I was having lunch at the Hardrock Cafe in Nadhville It was almost empty when I spotted the red vest he wore on that Album cover. I asked the manager if that was the original he said yes and I was the first guy to actually identify it.

When I was little, my dad used to play this song on his guitar for me. I miss him.

when the song ended i almost got up and applauded in front of my computer!! these guys are unbelievably awesome!
