 Hal Leonard  "Rockabilly: A Forty Year Journey," by Billy Poore. Hal Leonard Publications. 296 pages, US$19.95. Foreword by Danny Gatton.

Veteran rockabilly artist and producer/promoter Billy Poore gives his extensive inside account of the rockabilly scene from the early years, to the present. Written in a folksy, casual manner, Poore leaves no stone unturned.

Beginning with the explosion out of Memphis in the mid-50's, he traces the path of the early stars through the 60's, and contrasts the music with the times and other clashes of musical invasion. One of the amazing epiphanies of this book is how Rockabilly- in all of it's forms- has withstood the the test of time.

"Rockabilly" also has numerous photos throughout the book, including many from the author's collection.
