This is the first comprehensive overview of rockabilly, beginning with its crystallization as a distinct style in 1954 with Elvis Presley's first release. Presenting the who, what, where, and when of the music, Craig Morrison's lively account will bring back memories of "Blue Suede Shoes," "Be-Bop-A-Lula," Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, and more. A volume in the series Music in American Life
"It's the first thing I would suggest to anyone who wanted to know what rockabilliy music was all about. . . . A reasonable, well-balanced, and nondogmatic account of a musical genre that has become a cult to many of its followers. Morrison's book should make rockabilly more accessible to those with broad interests in grassroots American music."--David Evans, Memphis State University
