Link played as a sideman on countless 50s / early 60s sessions, with / for his brothers and a host of friends - many of which are now long forgotten obscurities, of interest only because of his involvement. Disc 1 of this compilation presents Link's own releases between 1958-62, delivered in his fiercely unmistakeable style; Disc 2 presents a goodly selection of Link's session work from 1956-62, including his own first 45 (which, stylistically, couldn't be further removed from the hairy-chested 'Rumble'), alongside a couple of dozen or so 'guest appearances' and even a couple of 'solo' 45s, which actually came out credited to older brother Vern.
