Second fils de Fred et Lillian Mae, ce guitariste novateur d'ascendence
indienne Shawnee reçoit vers l''ge de quatre ans, de la part d'un musicien noir nommé Hambone, une guitare et quelques leçons.
Il fait ses début en 1955 en compagnie de ses frères Vernon (basse) et Doug (Batterie).
Installés à Washington, les Brothers se consacrent
d'abord au Country and Western sous le nom de Link WRAY & THE PALOMINO RANCH HANDS, et enregistrent pour Starday avec le
Steel guitariste Bud ISAACS (d'après Ray TOPPING).
En 1956, il enregistre son premier disque sous le nom de 'Lucky ' RAY.
Suite à une rechute de turberculose, (contractée lors de son service en Corée), Link renonce au chant pour se consacrer à la guitare. Pionnier de la distortion, il obtiendra un fameux hit instrumental 'Rumble' en 1958, sous le nom de Link WRAY & THE RAYMEN. Second succès en 1959 chez Epic avec 'Raw-Hide' suivi de 'Jack The Ripper' en 1963 pour Swan Records.
Guitariste de rock souvent sauvage, il sut adapter le répertoire contry à son style accrocheur et précurseur. Toujours en activité, il aida, en 1977, à lancer la carrière du chanteur Robert GORDON. Il fit la transition entre le rock américain de la fin des années cinquantes et le rock anglais du milieu des années soixantes.
Link Wray est mort le 5 novembre 2005, à l'âge de 76 ans.
