For almost four decades, the name 'Bill Millar' has been synonymous
with the very best in British music writing - from his pioneering
books on the Drifters and the Coasters, to his long-running
'Echoes' column in Record Mirror, Let It Rock and Melody Maker, to
the authoritative sleevenotes he has penned for dozens of albums.
This fabulous new book collects together 49 of his best pieces -
some previously unpublished - in a thematic compilation covering
hillbilly, rockabilly, R&B, rock' n' roll, doo-wop, swamp pop
and soul. Includes essays on the early Sixties doo-wop renaissance,
acapella, the swamp pop phenomenon and blue-eyed soul, as well as
detailed profiles of some of the most fascinating and influential
personalities of each era: Johnnie Allan, Rod Bernard, Bob Bertram,
Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown, Roy Buchanan, Roy C, Ray Campi, Johnny
Carroll, Roy Clark, Albert Collins, Mac Curtis, Big Al Downing,
Charlie Gracie, Herb Hardesty, Dale Hawkins, Screamin' Jay Hawkins,
Cecil Holmes, Ivory Joe Hunter, Bull Moose Jackson, Etta James,
Jerry Jaye, Young Jessie, Johnny & The Hurricanes, Benny Joy,
Baker Knight, Sonny Knight, Jerry Lee Lewis, Lonnie Mack, Stick
McGhee, Big Jay McNeely, Bob Montgomery, Lattie Moore, Jimmy
Murphy, Eddie Noack, Tony Orlando, Mike Pedicin, Carl Perkins, the
Platters, Marvin Rainwater, John Richbourg, Tommy Sands, Major Bill
Smith, the Velvets, Link Wray and Big Jim Wynn. Passionate and
knowledgable, music journalism rarely comes much better than this.
