description: "Duane Eddy was an American guitarist. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, he had a string of hit records produced by Lee Hazlewood which were noted for their characteristically \"twangy\" guitar sound, including \"Rebel-'Rouser\", \"Peter Gunn\", and \"Because They're Young\". He had sold 12 million records by 1963. His guitar style influenced the Ventures, the Shadows, the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, and Marty Stuart."
