Vintage Rock Issue 69 (June/July 2024) Elvis Presley
In our latest issue, as Elvis’ debut single That’s All Right approaches its 70th anniversary, we head to Memphis to check out the sights and sounds that influenced the King of Rock’n’Roll for this landmark release. There’s more Presley action, too, as VR goes behind the scenes of his 1964 movie Viva Las Vegas.
Elsewhere, we stay closer to home with an examination of the birth of Teddy Boy culture in the UK, take a deep dive into the genesis story of the mighty Vox AC-30 amplifier that soundtracked the British Invasion and meet Merseybeat star Billy J. Kramer as he returns to Abbey Road to record his latest studio album, Are You With Me
We also serve up features on cult rockabilly hero Billy Lee Riley, take a look at the career of Johnny Rivers, the rockin’ New Yorker who more than held his own on home soil in the face of Beatlemania, and hear from Pokey LaFarge about his loved-up new LP.
Our latest classic album is Jerry Lee Lewis’ diverse Southern Roots and we count down our Top 20 Underrated Otis Blackwell songs.
