Duane Eddy (born April 26, 1938 in Corning, New York) is an American guitarist best known for his "Twangy" guitar style.

Eddy's career began after he met Lee Hazlewood, a disc jockey and record producer from Arizona, in 1955. Together, they established a writing and recording partnership that led to 24 hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s. After "Movin' and Groovin'", Eddy released "Rebel Rouser", his signature breakthrough hit that reached the Top Ten chart in the U.S. in 1958. Early recordings were made in a small studio in the back of Ramsey's Records in Phoenix, Arizona.
