CD Album Reviews
There’s a clutch of early-singles compilations this issue, which highlight the early form of both legends and cult acts from Smokey Robinson to Roy Brown to Ella Mae Morse. Add some cracking new releases from Mel Peekaboo, Nick Waterhouse and others from across the globe, and it’s a fine season for rock’n’roll…
JINGLE BELL ROCK!
There was plenty of rockin’ around the Christmas tree when the teds and rockers headed to Suffolk for their annual winter knees-up by the sea
A LIFE IN Rock ‘n’ Roll
It’s 1960, and Vince Eager is finding himself increasingly frustrated with Larry Parnes. The latest tour proves to be memorable, though, with horseplay by the River Avon, disappearing cars in Cardiff, and punch-ups in Glasgow
SOUNDTRACK of my life
Veteran entertainer Mike Berry was there at the start of rock’n’roll in the UK and, partly thanks to his sister, had the US records to prove it. His soundtrack is stacked with classics from Elvis, The Beatles, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly and more

ROCKABILLY SPECIAL!
An A-Z of Rockabilly
With this issue packed with rockabilly, we’re kicking off with a guide to the 50s classics. This A-Z isn’t exhaustive, of course not – that would be a book. But whether you’re a newbie needing a primer on legendary cuts and the sharpest of stars, or a seasoned rockabilly who wants some rarer fare to add to your collection, we hope it’s a good place to start…
ONCE UPON A Time In The West
One of the most vibrant labels for new rockabilly is the UK’s own Western Star. As he marks his label’s 15th anniversary, owner Alan Wilson tells Vintage Rock about keeping the rockin’ flame alive, picks his favourite cuts and salutes some famous friends
On the CD
Vintage rockabilly, swing, a bit of country, classic
NOT JUST LIKE EDDIE
Aside from his legendary bloodline, Bobby Cochran has proved himself a virtuoso guitarist, artist and producer in his own right. Vintage Rock talks to the nephew of Eddie about divine inspiration, rockabilly throwback bands and a family legacy of musical exploration
WHEN ROCKABILLY RULED OK!
Rockabilly was in its death throes by the 1960s, but
TEDDY BOY ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
Crazy Cavan And The Rhythm Rockers led the rockabilly revival of the 1970s. Nearly half a century into their career, we found singer Cavan Grogan and lead guitarist Lyndon Needs still crazy after all these years
THE WESTERN FRONT
Clint Bradley made his name with UK neo-rockabilly champs The Blue Cats, but he’s since gone back further to the source with his western albums. Vintage Rock hears from a man still in awe of Marty Robbins and living by the advice given to him by Carl Perkins
THE FINAL DECADE
Much of the focus on Elvis Presley in the 1970s focuses on his personal deterioration. But for BBC DJ, superfan and author Matt Shepherd, that decade still showed just how great an artist Elvis could be. Here he offers his own take on the later reign of the King…
