LINK PROTRUDI & THE JAYMEN "DRIVE IT HOME" CD 
Although this has a similar track list to "Drive It Live," these are the original studio 
recordings from their first two LPs. Drive It Home and Missing Links. A high
energy guitar three-piece, Link Protrudi & The Jaymen are heavily Link Wray 
influenced and eight of these titles are Wray compositions. The full-on Wray 
blast is the band's forte, but midway there are a couple of very tasty surf originals
 in "Psyclone" and "Bandito." And yes, "Chaquita" is the Dave Clark Five's great 
instrumental. DC5 are also represented here by "No Stopping," although you might 
easily confuse it with one of the Linkster's pieces. "Psyclone" reappears as an 
alternate take without the spooky spacey organfills but lacks a little of the atmosphere
 because of it. With no vocals and compositions of a consistently quality. 
Drive It Home is probably the greatest album Link Wray never made.
