It was the twang heard 'round the world: Rockabilly was born out of
country, bluegrass, jazz, and the blues in the 1950s, becoming rock ’n’
roll and ruling the world. Here’s the story of Elvis Presley’s first Sun
records that inspired all. And here’s Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Eddie
Cochran, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and many more
rockabillies from the golden years of 1955–1959, in a book chock full of
photos, collectible memorabilia, movie posters, rare records, fashion,
and rebel lifestyle. Includes contributions from noted music journalists
Greil Marcus, Peter Guralnick, Luc Sante, Robert Gordon, and more.
The
story continues today, with a rockabilly revival that began with stars,
such as the Stray Cats and Robert Gordon, spreading around the globe
from Europe to Japan. Today, rockabilly is better than ever, with bands
like Rev. Horton Heat and others playing the music and living the life
from Memphis to Helsinki to Tokyo. There’s still good rockin’ tonight!
