[Twila · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was really helpful for several university essays, including my dissertation proposal, on Americana subcultural and musical studies, specialising in Rockabilly and the Rock'n'Roll genre, especially regarding its inception and key players in the first generation of Rockers!

Also, for anyone interested or, like me, raised in the Rockabilly subculture and Rock'n'Roll music, this is a pleasant read, with over 200 photos and interviews from artists big and small.
