In our latest issue, for our in-depth cover feature we salute the Imperial phase of Fats Domino and reveal how New Orleans helped create one of rock’n’roll’s most legendary artists. We also hear how Buddy Holly has inspired the stunning comeback of former Hollies frontman Allan Clarke and reappraise the post-Sun Records career of rockabilly icon Carl Perkins. Elsewhere, we turn the clock back to Elvis Presley’s army years and go behind the scenes of an exciting new feature-length Joe Meek documentary that aims to bring the influential producer’s work to a whole new generation of fans.
