Hands up those among you who love old-school rock’n’roll – and welcome to the very first issue of Vintage Rock magazine. We were inspired to assemble this special tribute by the fact that while the music of the late ’60s onwards has been covered in exhaustive depth, publications that focus on the vital and truly life-changing records that shook up an unsuspecting universe back in the ’50s aren’t nearly as thick on the ground. Given the sheer quality of the music and the fascinating stories behind those who made it, not to mention the sheer impact all this had on so many aspects of popular culture, it’s an injustice that needs to be righted.
So here’s our humble offering for your delectation. In this inaugural issue you’ll find features on a diverse groups of legends, from Elvis to Hank to Bo, as well as other trailblazers that perhaps aren’t as well known as they should be. We also highlight some of those wonderful souls who help keep the spirit of the era alive in the 21st century.
Once you’ve read our first Vintage Rock, please let us know how you feel about it, so we can make future issues even more entertaining. Enjoy…
