Duane Eddy (3rd from left), 16 years old with his first electric guitar – Arizona, 1954

In 1986, Duane recorded with Art of Noise, a collaboration that brought a new twist to his 1960 best seller, “Peter Gunn.” The song was an instant, Top Ten hit around the world, ranking #1 on Rolling Stone Magazine’s dance chart for six weeks that summer. As further confirmation of it’s success, “Peter Gunn” won the Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental of 1986.

The following year, a new album, the self-titled, Duane Eddy, was released on Capitol. As a tribute to his influence and inspiration to so many young players, a crowd of unbelievable talent came along to be a part of this project. Tracks were produced by Paul McCartney, Jeff Lynne, Ry Cooder, Art of Noise, and Duane. The “band” included John Fogerty, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Ry Cooder, James Burton, David Lindley, Steve Cropper, and original Rebels, Larry Knechtel and Jim Horn. In the Spring of 1994, Duane Eddy’s place in our musical history was etched in stone at his induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, alongside fellow artists Elton John, Rod Stewart, John Lennon, Bob Marley, and The Grateful Dead. Later that year, film soundtracks brought Duane’s guitar to millions as they watched Forrest Gump being chased by a pickup truck full of rednecks, running into his football career to the sound of “Rebel ’Rouser.” Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers used “The Trembler,” a track written by Duane and Ravi Shankar, to help create a spine-chilling scene set against a violent thunderstorm in the desert.
