The authority on the history of rockabilly music
The rebellious youth music we know as rockabilly was born in the '50s and enjoyed a great revival in
the '80s and '90s. The book Rockabilly: A Forty-Year Journey is a straight-from-the-heart account of how the genre's
greatest artists - author Billy Poore's personal friends - made their mark. Billy gives the low-down on everyone from pioneers
like Gene Vincent, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochran and Charlie Feathers, to the next generation
of stars like Link Wray, Dave Edmunds, Robert Gordon, Dwight Yoakam, The Blasters, The Stray Cats and BR5-49, to the unlikely
artists who have been influenced by rockabilly, including Conway Twitty and The Beatles. His uncensored stories and incredible,
previously-unpublished photos deliver an inside look into the wild art of one of America's greatest inventions, a musical
genre. Rockabilly: A Forty-Year Journey is also a great reference guide, detailing artists' (from the legends to
the one-hit wonders) chart activity, career milestones and tours. With its sentimental foreword by the late Danny Gatton,
this book is a must-read for all fans of music and Americana!
