(via Duane Eddy, Whose Twang Changed Rock ’n’ Roll, Dies at 86 - The New York Times)

Mr. Eddy in a publicity photo from 1958, the year his rollicking “Cannonball” charted in both the United States and Britain.

Duane Eddy, who broke new ground in pop music in the 1950s with a reverberant, staccato style of guitar playing that became known as twang, died on Tuesday in Franklin, Tenn. He was 86.

SATURDAY MUSIC VIDEO MATINEE: “Act Naturally”—Singer-songwriter and comedian Johnny Russell came up with the early 60s Bakersfield country music scene—famously with Buck Owens, who hit the big-time after recording Johnny’s song “Act Naturally.” In this video I tell the humorous and surprising “back story” of how that song wound its way through obstacles and objections before becoming a hit for Buck as well as Ringo Starr and The Beatles. It’s a lesson in sticking to your songwriting instincts even if it means breaking a hot date with your girlfriend!

Ratboys — The Window (Topshelf)

Ratboys are a boisterous, emotions-on-sleeves indie rock band out of Chicago on the verge of something big. The band, which started as a duo but now includes four regular members, has five full-lengths to its credit, including this one. Although you could trace an arc from mid-teens basic rock to early 2020s Crutchfield-adjacent twangy mayhem, these albums have a consistent core. The Ratboys sound centers around the yelping, gulping, volatile singing of one Julia Steiner and a ferocious guitar racket courtesy of the other founder Dave Sagan.

This album begins in a buzz of feedback and the album’s hardest-charging beat and riffery. It’s called “Making Noise for the Ones You Love,” and indeed, it busts out the doors and grabs the ears, whether Ratboys loves you or not. Marcus Nuccio wallops the skins off his kits behind this one, kayo-ing the beat with reckless abandon, while big spirals of rock guitar arc off the primitive assault. But it’s Steiner’s keening, confiding, sharp-edged vocals that catch you up. She can wail like a banshee or sing conversationally, with a little rasp on her finish and a chirruping high range that cuts through the mix. She sounds a little like the Beths’ Elizabeth Stokes and a whole lot like Allison Crutchfield, especially her work in Swearin’ which has a similar volume and aggression.

Not all of these cuts turn up to 11. The title, for instance, is relatively quiet, a mesh of nearly folky picking and Steiner in a sweeter, more country mode. The song, she says, is about her grandparents in the pandemic, her grandmother in a nursing home, her grandfather unable to visit, only allowed to view his life partner through a window. It’s a beautiful, heartbreaking song, full of rapturous, anthemic guitars and soaring choruses, and Steiner gets a full helping of emotion without sentimentality.

“It’s Alive,” is maybe the best song here, with its cool toned, contemplative verses and its lit-on-fire surging chorus. There are big bloopy slide notes and tamped back palm mutes in a song that swirls and eddies around a rock-solid rhythmic core. And again, those vocals, crazy excess and sweet solace wrapped up together with a wild bird’s cry in there somewhere. You can’t take your ear off someone this fascinating and unpredictable. She swoops and swoons and growls like Kristin Hersh but more country, and it’s worth a listen just to hear what she’ll do next.

I read somewhere that Stuart might have had a scottish accent and needed to fact check with you 👀

Stuart was indeed born in Edinburgh, and spent the first two years of his life there. His mother sounded like this + in the documentary about Stuart's life, the voice actor has a very distinct accent which would have been specifically sort out, I'd imagine. Most likely he had a kind of Scottish twang. Basically, imagine John with a Scottish twang 👍
