Wah Wah

Technically his 2nd LP after a collection of singles, this benchmark record from 1974 taught Istanbul’s musicians &amp; pop fans how to put Turkish folk songs from the 17th century together with meaty, thundering guitar solos. With a crack bass player by his side (Ahmet Güvenç from Bunalim &amp; Baris Manco’s Kurtalan Ekspres) &amp; an electrified baglama in his hands, Erkin Koray lets his gloomy baritone voice float over wiry double-reed melodies, bulging riffs, &amp; hammer-ons that go on for-friggin-ever. Savagery begins at home people, so make sure you get a physical copy of the best record by the Turkish Hendrix into your house.
