Vintage Rock | Oct/Nov 2026
In this special issue of Vintage Rock, we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Johnny Cash's breakthrough single I Walk The Line. With the help of a cast of experts, we examine the roots of the song and how it ultimately helped forge the complex character of the Man In Black.
Also inside, there's an excerpt from Bob Stanley’s latest hotly anticipated book, The Shadows: The Definitive Story, in which he finds the group at the peak of their fame in the UK and elsewhere but looking enviably over the Atlantic wondering why success has eluded them in the States. This issue's classic album comes from unsung piano-pounder Esquerita, the man who taught Little Richard how to rock; there's our in-depth guide to Queen Of R&B Ruth Brown; and features on the mighty Collins Kids and the French response to the rock'n'roll revolution.
We also tell the story of Stagger Lee, America’s most notorious murder ballad, a huge smash hit for Lloyd Price in 1959, plus we meet Darts’ founder members Griff Fender and Dan Hegarty as they celebrate their 50th anniversary. Lastly, there’s our Top 20 hillbilly boogies, James Hunter gives us the soundtrack of his life and all the usual news, reviews and tidbits. Enjoy the issue!
