BOOK REVIEW – The Rockabilly Legends

They Called It Rockabilly Long Before They Called It Rock And Roll

Just the sight of that word ‘rockabilly’ on front of this great slab of a book was enough to give me the thrill. And why, as I turned the beautifully designed and lovingly printed pages, reading the stories behind the first recordings by Elvis and Carl Perkins, I found my fingers and feet involuntarily tapping out the beat of That’s Alright Mama and Blue Suede Shoes. The room was silent. The records, fresh and new, were playing in my head.

It’s a tribute from a man whose life was changed in the 1950s to the men who changed it, focusing on the ones he knew and toured withy. During the ‘60s, Jerry Naylor filled Buddy Holly’s shoes in the Crickets. Before that, as a 15-year-old part time DJ, he remembers spinning Presley’s first 45 – and dancing around the studio screaming and yelling as it played.

It’s that enthusiasm that defines this book and, ultimately, the music (of which there is plenty on a DVD of vintage performances tucked into the back cover). In 2057 will there be hip hop festivals like the rockabilly ones that flourish today?

I doubt it. But I bet that, in 3057, out in space, there will be a teenager thrilling to Carl Perkins singing, “I’ve got my cat clothes on and my blue suede shoes…”
