Re: [bomp] Fuzz favorites
You have to include Marty Robbins' "Don't Worry" from 1960 or '61. Though
the fuzz solo was supposedly unintentional (it's said that Grady Martin
plugged into a studio amp not knowing it had a blown speaker and found out
when he played the solo. It's also said that he knew ahead of the take and
just liked the way it sounded) it was probably most people's introduction to
fuzz.
