2010s: All around the world/ Rock'n'Roll is here to stay


Mr. Charles Berry with his airmobile.


The original Rock styles of the 50s -Rockabilly, electric Blues, Honky Tonk, Mambo, Cajun, and Doo Wop- are as vibrant and vital as ever, the solid roots that feed myriad branches in the new century.

They were hothouse flowers in the 1950s, seeded the '60s, resprouted in the '70s, germinated in the '80s, went wild in the '90s, forested in the 2000s, and became perennials in the 2010s.



𝟭a
Perennials



We live our lives, but then we live on in our works.

There's a point in culture when someone goes from being a presence to an influence. The spirit of their efforts informs those that follow. They may have gone on, but they are never gone.

Rock'n'Roll had come into the 21st century with new music in the first decade by original rockers like Dawson, Martin, LaBeef, and Cash. But by the second, Wanda Jackson was one of the last of the upstanding still standing. Whether making new albums (one produced by Jack White), fronting for bands like The Alligators, or being covered by decades of disciples, Wanda's party lasted for the long.

Determined to outrun everyone, of course, was that willful Jerry Lee Lewis, who recorded new albums backed by Keith Richards and Ron Wood, Ringo Starr, Robbie Robertson, Shelby Lynne, and Neil Young.

Chuck Berry returned after decades with his final record, showing how its done while jamming with his son and grandson. Sadly, we lost the King of guitar in 2017.



The Big Bang of '50s Rock reverberated in outward rings.

Second-wave rockers like Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, The Rolling Stones, Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Jeff Beck, Jeff Lynne as well as Electric Light Orchestra, a reunited Stray Cats, and Roger Daltrey (with Wilko Johnson) continued to draw from the well.

Further-wave rockers like Nick Curran, Crazy Cavan, Robert Gordon, Tom Waits, The Fall, Lee Rocker, and Annie Lennox tilled the furrows.

New artists channeled the sounds of Patsy Cline (Linda Kay), Hasil Adkins (Bloodshot Bill), Eddie Cochran (PJ Harvey), and Wanda Jackson (Bonde Do Role).

The Bo Diddley beat, the primal pulse of the Rock'n'Roll heart, bumped-da-bump-bumped in rock tribal revival in songs by Hipbone Slim, Lykke Li, The Dustaphonics, Willy Moon, Summer Twins, Lee Bains III, Gruff Rhys, Daddy Long Legs, Delta Bombers, Puta Madre Brothers (Australia), The Bullets, and Thee Tsunamis.

Heralding the heroes were celabratory songs about Elvis (by Mystery Trio), Bettie Page (Dorados), Buddy Holly (John Mueller), Fats Domino (The Features, Guided By Voices), Gene Vincent (The Katman, Flat Duo Jets), Chuck Berry (Southern Culture On The Skids), Little Richard (The Computers, The Sonics), Bo Diddley (Big Boy Bloater), and Wanda Jackson (Bootleg Betty).

Love for Buddy Holly would not fade away with rave-ons in his sound by Dum Dum Girls, Louise Burns, Crushed Out, and Vampire Weekend. There were two all-star tribute albums to Buddy, with covers by the likes of The Black Keys, The Detroit Cobras, Paul McCartney (who owns his hero's songs), Imelda May, and Brian Wilson.



𝟭b
Trads


Lynda Kay


Rather than simply imitate the original sounds, traditionalists like Lynda Kay, The Secret Sisters, Chris Isaak, Vintage Trouble, Pieta Brown, Natalie Ross, J.D. McPherson, The Blasters, Nikki Hill, Jessica Lee Wilkes, and Lily Locksmith used their spirit as a sonic template for new expression.




𝟭c
Roots


Marcia Ball; Anna Popovic; Susan Tedeschi


Blues music first broke through because of a woman. The blues was an amorphous country form in the 1920s shunned by polite society, and it was the phenomenal success of Bessie Smith's 78rpm platters that enabled everyone else to come forward.

Women have held their own in the Blues for a century, despite getting swiped by the spotlight since. Today, firedrakes like Samantha Fish, Karen Lovely, Eden Brent, Carolyn Wonderland, Marcia Ball, Ana Popovic, Fiona Boyes, Shemekia Copeland, Heart Attack Alley, Teresa James And The Rhythm Tramps, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Mr. Airplane Man, and Becky Barksdale keep the home fires blazing.

Kindred souls like Little Victor, Gary Clark Jr., The Juke Joint Pimps, Dirty Deep, The Jelly Roll Men (Germany), Black Joe Lewis And The Honeybears, Cedric Burnside, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, and Eli Paperboy Reed also stoked their share.


Cover artwork by Federico Archuleta


The Texas Tornados (founded by Doug Sahm, Freddy Fender, and Flaco Jimenez) rode one more for the rodeo, and Sorelle Monelle stayed in the saddle.

Country boogied and Honky Tonk thomped with Patricia Vonne, Jade Jackson, Marti Brom, Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle, Paul Cauthen, Root'n Toot'n, Miss Mary Ann And The Ragtime Wranglers (Norway), Rockin' Bonnie And The Mighty Ropers (Italy), The Doel Brothers (Spain), Brad Stivers, and Tennessee Drifters.

Jump Jive thrived and Boogie oogied with Laura B And The Moonlighters (UK), Deanna Bogart, The Clams, Dani Nel-La, PatC And The Tailshakers (Sweden), and Billie And The Kids (Croatia).

Rockin' Bonnie; C.J. Chenier


Cajun and Zydeco two-stepped the floors with BeauSoleil, Steve Riley And The Mamou Playboys, C.J. Chenier, Pine Leaf Boys, Broadway Lafayette, and Cedric Watson.



𝟭d
Covers


Quality is timeless, and a great song or sound is eternal. Many contemporary artists spread the love with their covers of classics by Chuck Berry (La Femme, Little Neal And The Blue Flames), The Coasters (Autoramas), Fats Domino (Davina And The Vagabonds), LaVern Baker (Alice And The Wonders), Etta James (Chilli And Marie), Alton And Johnny (The Cactus Blossoms), Connie Francis (Angel Olsen), and Johnny Cash (Johnny Horsepower).

The 1950s is full of great songs to cover, but after awhile, the range gets rode.

Now, many modern rockabillies rockabilly up the modern with covers of unexpected songs in classic '50s styles.

On the music player, dig cover spins on Gloria Jones (by Imelda May, The Neutronz), Pointer Sisters (Jerry Lawson), The Beatles (The Virginia Gentlemen, Lee Rocker, Hot Sausage, Drugstore Cowboys), latter Roy Orbison (The Joy Formidible, John Stephan), Tommy James (Poison Ivy And The Steady, Led Zeppelin (Dusty Dave And The Heart Attacks, The Wolverhines, The Devil's Daughters), Elvis Costello (Restless, Ulster Boys, El Camino), Tom Waits (Gaby Jogeix, Charley Horse), T.Rex (Dan Sartain), The Police (The Rocker Covers), Duran Duran (The Quakes), Devo (The Rocketz), Billy Idol (Les Snails, Hellbilly Club), Judas Priest (The Pinstripes, Vildekatterna), Eurythmics (The Silverettes), and Portishead (The Dark Shadows)!


1950s Rock'n'Roll found its form assimulating everything, and it keeps its form assimulating everything. Like THE BLOB. If it could dance and had great hair.



𝟭e
Bopcats



"But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes!"

-Carl Perkins


The Mowretsu Attack 40s


Bound to bop away all their blues with no feet flat are where-it's-at cats like The Wildebeests, Bryant Trenier And The Dynasonics, Carlos And The Bandidos, Kitty Daisy And Lewis, Caroline And The Ramblers, Carmen Ghia And The Hotrods (UK), and Kim Lenz And Her Jaguars.

If those bands slow down, you can yell for more from globetrotters like Miqui Puig (Spain), The Mowretsu Attack 40s (Japan), B And The Bops (Croatia), Toini And The Tomcats (Norway), Yolintu (Finland), Double Six (Spain), Nico Duportal And His Rhythm Dudes (France), Miki Lamarr (Finland), The Mackshow (Japan), and Cherry Rat Y Os Gatunos (Brazil).



𝟭f
Burn, Burnette, burn!



The ferocious roar of Johnny Burnette And The Rock N Roll Trio continued to clack the tracks on a lonesome train now jam-packed in the new decade.

Covers of "Train Kept A'Rollin'", "Honey Hush", "Lonesome Train", and "Rock Billy Boogie" abounded unabated, clangin' a harangue like Burnettes boomeranged, from fan-addicts like The Top Cats (Sweden), Tom Stormy Trio, Jeff Beck, The Del Moroccos, Sex Museum, Christian D And The Hangovers, The Obscuritones, Sharna-Mae And The Mayhems (UK), Samehada Shiriko And Dynamite (Japan), The Pringles, , A.J. And The Rockin' Trio, and Robert Gordon.

The Top Cats; Sweet Jeena;
Sara and Dex Romweber


And kept a'buzzin' in sonic cousins like Alex Lipinski (mixed with Dylan), Screamin' Rebel Angels, Los Volidos (Spain), The Tremors, Pike Cavalera And The Gentle Bandoleros (Spain), Jack Rabbit Slim, Mystery Gang (Hungary), The Hillbilly Moon Explosion, Straight 8s, Sweet Jeena And Her Sweethearts, Lady Luck Combo (Sweden), Dex Romweber Duo, and Simon Crashly And The Roadmasters (Sweden).



𝟭g
Doo Wop



Classic vocalese strolled out cool from the deep freeze in the tonsorial chorals of Jerry Lawson, The Virginia Gentlemen, Whirlwind, Under The Streetlamp, Lil' Mo And The Dynaflos, The Mighty Echoes, The Calvanes, The Velvet Candles (Spain), Vicky Tafeya And The Big Beat (Spain), Mystery Gang and Mohammed Fatima,J Freddy Velas And The Silvertones (Italy), and the Soul of The Sha La Das and Joey Quinones And Thee Sinseers.

And kept the pace from unexpected places with Robert Plant, Helena Noguerra (Belgium), Joan As Police Woman, and Leon Bridges.



𝟭h
Mood


Down moonlit streets, slick with rain and sin, cruising some middle ground between light and shadow, were shady culprits that might have been Lanie Lane (Australia), Pipeline '61, Timber Timbre, Jack Ladder, Los Mambo Jambo (Spain), Boss Christ (New Zealand), MadMartin Trio, Dawn Shipley And The Sharp Shooters, Pete Hutton, Southbound Snake Charmers (Australia), and Delaney Davidson (New Zealand). Unless their alibis check.

"...and there's always music in the air."


Meanwhile, the midnight stoplight is swaying and the woods are not what they seem in Twin Peaks with David Lynch (and Karen O), Silencio, Bookhouse, Chromatics, Cherry Cherie, surprisingly Kim Lenz, and Jenny Gabrielson Mare.



𝟭i
Trash


Trashabillies. Brains corroded by, corrupted and erupting to, Link Wray Hasil Adkins The Cramps, smashed and talkin' trash, wrong done fast wrung through with oil and glass.

Girl In A Coma


"Officers, be on the lookout for The A-Bones, The Wrongdoings, Haunted George, Doo Rag, Los Vigilantes, Bloodshot Bill, Girl In A Coma, The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Ty Segall Band, Becky Lee And Drunkfoot, The Coathangers, The Dead Exs, Dex Romweber, Deer Tick, For The Love Of Ivy, Emptifist, Leadfoot Tea, Bat Fangs, , and Daddy Long Legs, over."

Unusual suspects straying outside their usual turfs include Death valley Girls, Deerhoof, The Courettes (Brazil/Danish), and Night Beats.

But some'll just skip town on the lam, no kiss, blam, with cold-heart cohorts like Hombre Loco Internacional, Pussycat And The Dirty Johnsons (UK), Horst With No Name (Germany), Messer Chups (Germany), The Incredible Staggers (Vienna), Knucklebone Oscar (Sweden), Thee Gravemen (Sweden), Komety (Poland), Guadalupe Plata (Spain), and Wasurete Motels (Japan).



𝟭j
Speed


Slap tarmac till it slaps you back with Wild Wax Combo (Denmark), perennial psychobillies The Magnetix (Russia), Furious, Devil's Brigade, Jane Rose And The Deadend Boys, and Peggy Sugarhill.



𝟭k
SHE


"I drink a quart of Saki, smoke dynamite
I chase it with tobackey and then shoot out the light!"

-Anisteen Anderson/ Wanda Jackson, "Fujiyama Mama"


Eva Eastwood


The exponential tide of women in roots Rock became all-pervasive this decade.

We're gonna Rockafilly boogie to-ni-hite with Cherry Tess & Her Rhythm Sparks (Sweden), Irene, Lara Hope & The Champtones, Maibell And The Misfires (Finland), Sweet Jeena And The Roommates (Sweden/UK), Barbara Clifford, Eva Eastwood (Sweden), and Lily Moe & The Barnyard Stompers (Switzerland)!

Get led astray by the one who leads the strays with female-fronted bands like Empress Of Fur, The Twisteroos, Hi Way Ramblers, Screamin' Rebel Angels, Rocket To Memphis, The Montesas (Germany), Sixten And The Cupcakes (Sweden), and Dixie Leadfoot (former Zappa vocalist, Susannah Harris).

Or go psychojilly with that crazy feelin' along with The Wolfgangs, The Hatchet Wounds, Thee Merry Widows, Bonsai Kitten (Germany), and The Silver Shine (Hungary), until you rile up into a pile-up with Angie And The Car Wrecks.



𝟭l
WE



Creativity is the survival mechanism of sharing.

Culture isn't a codeword for Them or Theirs. Culture is us plus us. There is no Either/Or... there is only And Also.

Culture isn't constant or owned by a 'pure' group. Culture is constantly renewing itself through each one, onward into everyone.

It is an intersection of ideas. We refract everything we've taken in. From each other, with each other, for each other. An open mind, an idea divined, another's ideas combined, still more intertwined, some streamlined while others realign, always parsing out paradigms on through time. We survive and thrive together through sharing.

Mike Sanchez; Vintage Trouble


Everyone was a contributing party to Rock'n'Roll, and that's why everyone's part of this party.>

¡Viva amigos Mike Sanchez (England), Truly Lover Trio (L.A.), and The Broken Toys (Argentina)!

All hail our comrades Janelle Monae, Vintage Trouble, Garland Jeffreys, Barbara Clifford, Bootsy Collins(!), Shakura S'Aida, Joyce Cobb, Aaron Neville, Colbert Hamilton And The Nitros, Curtis Harding, La La Brooks, Trudy Lynn, Sister Cookie, Jai Malano, and the ever-lastin' Barrence Whitfield!

World


The RockTigers


Rock'n'Roll came from the world's root musics crosstalked, and became a common tongue of cousins everywhere.

Travel world-wise on the Music Player with Kathy X (Germany) or Imelda May (Ireland), Los Rizlaz and Swamp Ratz and The 5.6.7.8's and The Midnight TV Programs (Japan), The Hillbilly Moon Explosion (Switzerland) or Cyclones (Sweden), The RockTigers (South Korea) or King Drapes (Finland), El Twanguero (Spain) or Stereo Total (France), The Hoodoo Tones (Germay) or Eddie Y Los Grasosos (Mexico)!

Repression only escalates expression.

Repressive conservative times, like the 1950s, are pressure cookers that inevitably distill dissent into rebellious cultural revolutions. The era has become a universal metaphor for the dangers of affluent indifference and violent intolerance, the point when greed and hate are suffocating society. As such a warning, it is more relevant to us than ever.

'The Hour'; 'The Bletchley Circle'


Two critically-acclaimed TV shows dealt with the crushing restrictions of post-WWII Britain: 'The Hour' (2011), about a political news broadcast that bucks homeland propaganda by championing real investigative journalism; and 'The Bletchley Circle' (2012), in which women who helped win the war as decoders reject being forced to be housewives, and instead become unofficial detectives.

'Masters Of Sex',
starring Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan


The political is personal. Repression's goal is to control people by constricting their thoughts, their body, and their soul, diverting their energy into servitude. The 'Masters Of Sex' (2013-'16) TV series uses the framework of the world-changing sex study by Masters and Johnson (and their complex personal relationship) to challenge all presumptions and constrictions that we mistake as fact. The sexual revolution they charted and started has become a catalyst for myriad forms of personal liberation.

Films also used the '50s as a general backdrop for defining oneself. The acclaimed animated film CHICO AND RITA (2010) was a musical romance set in revolutionary Cuba. In Malick's TREE OF LIFE (2011), a woman navigates the arbitrary line between love and abuse, within a wider Kubrik-esque allegory about Nature vs. Nurture; in BROOKLYN (2015), a woman immigrating to the US hurdles challenges to figure out where she belongs; and in TOM OF FINLAND (2017), the artist navigates homophobia to develop his signature erotic style. Laurel and Hardy re-found themselves in the touching STAN AND OLLIE (2018), a biopic of their last stage tour. WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE (2018) adaptated Shirley Jackson's psychological horror book, while THE VAST OF NIGHT (2019) brought interstellar weirdness to a remote New Mexico town.

Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs


Rock'n'Roll roiled parallel in the '50s with the Beat Generation, who defied all mores and mindsets, and films explored their surging tide. HOWL (2010) depicted the creation and reaction to Allen Ginsberg's seditious poem, ON THE ROAD (2012) brought Jack Kerouac's revelatory road trip to life, and KILL YOUR DARLINGS (2013) essayed the early years and bizarre circumstances when Ginsberg, Kerouac, and William S. Burroughs first met.

The Big Bang keeps ringing...

Soundwaves bypass all boundaries, whether on maps, in cultures, or in one's head. Human arts flow from heart to heart, and leave delusional limits in the dust.

Culture is an intersection of ongoing ideas, connecting everyone. And Rock'n'Roll is an emancipation exclamation, for now and ever.

"Hail, hail Rock'n'Roll!
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live Rock'n'Roll!
The Beat of the drum is loud and bold
Rock Rock Rock'n'Roll!
The feeling is there body and soul"


-Chuck Berry, "School Days" (1957)

2000s: The Train Kept A'Rollin'


The original Rock styles of the '50s -Rockabilly, electric Blues, Honky Tonk, Mambo, Cajun, and Doo Wop- became classic forms throughlining the decades that followed; the '60s reflections, the '70s revivals, the '80s redux, and the '90s radicalization. In the 2000's, the forms united a worldwide underground community based on roots reclamation.

While the mainstream became ever more glossy, crass, aimless, and culturally clueless, the underground was revitalizing the future by building on the past.


𝟭a
Distribution




In the 1950s, music distribution was freeform: there were only a few majors labels and countless small ones, hustling 45's on local radio, in jukeboxes, and out of car trunks. This came full circle by the 2000s: after the corporate record industry monopoly was eroded by the internet through direct downloads and pirating, music acts resorted to Do It Yourself tactics like indie labels, website downloads, social media, festival tours, and selling CDs and merch at concerts.

The original Rock'n'Roll sounds had become underground again, not played in the mainstream, but thriving better below that shallow radar in a vital international scene. By this period, music revivals like Rockabilly, Surf, Garage, and Psychedelic could no longer be dismissed as retro anamolies by media flitwits, instead gaining acceptance as timeless and viable traditional forms. '50s styles were part of the musical palette one could choose, abuse, suffuse, and pay dues.

Kindling this eternal flame were a host of indie labels like Norton, Nervous, and Bear Family (Germany). Trashabilly acts spun donuts through Yep Roc, Voodoo Rhythm, El Toro, Bloodshot, Swami, Tail (Sweden), and Crazy Love (Denmark). Roots acts, particularly in the wake of the huge success of the "O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?" Americana soundtrack, hickory-smoked in hollars like Blind Pig, Rounder, Hightone, and Crosscut (UK).

Roots festivals, like the annual genre-bending Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco, became a detox to audiences tired of mainstream schlock-pop, and Rockabilly festival circuits continued to host bands globally.



𝟭b
Country Boogie


Big Sandy; Lil' Linn And The Lookout Boys


Country Swing, Boogie, and Honky Tonk were mentors of early Rock'n'Roll.

Continuing the line dance from pioneers like Bob Wills were new steppers like Big Sandy, Bop Shack Stompers, Slim Slip And The Sliders, Carl And The Rhythm All Stars (France), and Lil' Linn And The Lookout Boys (Sweden).



𝟭c
Bop Cats


Kitty, Daisy, And Lewis


Go, cat, go!

Rockin' the bop till they scorched their socks were Kim Lenz And Her Jaguars, Ronnie Nightingale And The Haydocks, Bill Fadden And The Silvertone Flyers, The Thunderbirds, Wild Wax Combo, The Head Cat (Lemmy, Slim Jim Phantom, and Danny B. Harvey), Dan Sultan, and Kitty, Daisy, And Lewis.

All around the the world, Rock'n'Roll was here to stay with Nine Below Zero (UK), The Slapbacks (Austria), and Stressor (Russia).



𝟭d
Swing


Blue Harlem


Making that jive jump and wail were Mitch Woods And His Rocket 88's, John "juke" Logan, Blue Harlem, and Billy Bros. Jumpin' Orchestra (Italy).



𝟭e
Burnette




Johnny Burnette And The Rock N Roll Trio were a firebomb in early Rock that still charred music in the present. Dorsey and Johnny Burnette's frenzied gallop, lashed by Paul Burlison's hard-clanging guitar, propelled such classics as "Train Kept A Rollin'", "Honey Hush", "Lonesome Train", and "Rock Billy Boogie".

Haunted George, Nicotyna


Their bracing rhythmic clang sound still rampages rampant in the new century in songs by Barbara Burnette (who adopted the name with the sound), Eddy And The Backfires, Haunted George, Rhythm Bound!, Carl And The Rhythm All Stars, Jack Rabbit Slim, and The Starkweather Boys. It rebounds in sounds equater-round with Mars Attacks (Austria/Swiss), Screaming Kids (France), Eva Eastwood (Sweden), Los Raw Meat (Spain), and Nicotyna (Mexico).

That train will keep a'rollin' even more in the next decade.



𝟭f
Psychobilly


Hyper and hoarse, jerk-eyed and jittery, here come the psychos with Speed Crazy, The Peacocks, Restless, Psycho Charger, Os Catalepticos (Brazil), Aikka Hakala (Finland), The Young Werewolves, Asmodeus (Netherlands), and Tokyo Cramps (naturally, a Japanese Cramps homage).

Thee Merry Widows; Gito Gito Hustler


The tributaries of women in Psychobilly through the '90s finally flooded free with Kathy X, Horrorpops, Arsen Roulette, Thee Merry Widows, Mad Marge And The Stonecutters, Bridget Handley, Creepshow, Eve Hell And The Razors (Canada), Rocket To Memphis (Australia), Kamikaze Queens (Germany), As Diabatz (Brazil), Gito Gito Hustler (Japan), and Hellsonics (Belgium).



𝟭g
Trash Blues


Mr. Airplane Man


Trashabilly and corroded blues rattled rusty shacks with lightning, as heard in varied acts like Black Eyed Snakes, Mr. Airplane Man, James "Blood" Ulmer, The Black Keys, Pearline, Heavy Trash (with Jon Spencer), Tom Waits, The Detroit Cobras, Black Diamond Heavies, T-Model Ford, The Juke Joint Pimps, Ty Segall, Chris Duarte, Blue Mountain, Grinderman (with Nick Cave), and The Stone Foxes.

The Black Keys; T-Model Ford


Noize nomads scraped nerves worldwide, like Lyle Sheraton, Reverend Beat-Man, Knucklebone Oscar, Battle Of Ninjamanz (Japan), Haunted George, and The Wildebeests.

Howling and hiccuping after midnight were The Hillbilly Moon Explosion, The Raveonettes, and The Phantom Chords (alias The Damned).



𝟭h
Mood


Rocket To Memphis


Somewhere wandering bleary and aimless under a "Harlem Nocturne" looking for Link Wray's "Rumble" were moodscape misfits like Speedball Baby, Devil Doll, Miss Derringer, Rocket To Memphis, and Jace Everett.


𝟭i
SHE


Tura Satana made her claim to infamy strutting as the lead menace Varla -all leather, bangs, judo, and sneer- in the Russ Meyer sexploitation classic, FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! (1965). By the 2000s, the confluence of the pin-up and burlesque revivals along with Rockabilly and hot rod culture crystallized in the 'Varla' fashion, a tattooed devil doll of retro style and punk spirit. There was even a VARLA magazine which continues now as a webzine. In sum, Rockabilly women had assimilated all changes and become iconic.

Tura Satana in FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL!


Women have been a part of every permutation of Rock since the beginning, fighting a ridiculously long battle from marginalization to peer status. But the ranks of women in the retro scene had reached such critical mass exponentially by the new millennium that they were undeniable.

Boppin' the billies and fillies were Josie Kreuzer, Jean Vincent (hmmm), Little Rachel, Dawn Shipley And The Sharp Shooters, Miss Mary Ann And The Ragtime, The Honeybees, Lisa George, The Informants, and Candye Kane.

Josie Kreuzer; Little Rachel; Miss Mary Ann

Whirling the boys and girls 'round the world were Toini And The Tomcats (Dutch), Eva Eastwood (Finland), Sue Moreno (Dutch), Lil' Esther And Her Tinstars (Dutch), Maibell And The Misfires (Finland), Sweet Jeena And Her Sweethearts (Finland), and Cherry Tess And Her Rhythm Sparks (Sweden).

Riding the lone prairie were country rustlers like Cari Lee And The Saddle-Ites and Ruby Dee And The Snake Handlers.

Swaying some jazzy Swing into that thing were Roxanne Potvin (Canada) and Blue Harlem (UK).

Greasefiring the Garage were The Detroit Cobras, The Del-Gators, Tina And The Total Babes, The Malamondos, and Thee Tumbitas (Spain).

Bringing the Noize were abrasive firebrands like The Short Fuses, Devil Doll, Baby Horror (Spain), Danger*Cakes, and The Husbands.

Maibell And The Misfires, Thee Tumbinas, The Husbands



𝟭j
WE


Anyone who tries to discount brown faces from Rock'n'Roll is an assclown. Here from jump, here for the long!

Jet Harris, Little Richard, Gene Vincent, Sam Cooke


Creativity is all about inclusion over exclusion.

Traditions can become a stasis, but living culture is fluid. Where tradition draws a line, creative culture is instead borderless. Boundaries -like nations, classes, money, and separate races>- are delusions, generic and false impositions that define no one and separate everyone.

In truth, there is only commonality between individual personalities through emotion and experience. Live, feel, share. Every new idea is a relay baton that anyone can run with, arrive somewhere unexpected, and hand off. In fact, creativity is literally why we exist, since the abstract thinking used by the San tribe to explore out of Africa seeded the planet with our total family, the Human Race (singular).>>

The human soul and mind can't be curtailed anymore than currents or winds.


Eddie "The Chief" Clearwater, The Black Stripe,
King Salami


This is our party and everyone is invited. Rockin' it right were favored guests, heard on the music player, like Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater, James "Blood" Ulmer, T-Model Ford, Deborah Coleman, Chris Thomas King, Nathaniel Mayer, Lady Bianca, The Black Stripe (PJ Higgins, styling herself as the 'sister of The White Stripes, daughter of Elvis'), George Clinton, Lady Bianca, Dig Wayne And The Chisellers (Dig Wayne fronted Buzz And The Flyers and JoBoxers in the '80s), Noisettes, King Salami, and the unstoppable Barrence Whitfield.

And keeping it likewise tight were Pep Torres, Gatos Locos, Los Mentas, Star Mountain Dreamers, Truly Lover Trio, Raul Malo, Nu Niles (Spain), and Brioles (Spain).


𝟭k
Perennials


Original Rockers from the first wave like Link Wray, Ronnie Dawson, Wanda Jackson, Janis Martin, Speedo And The Cadillacs, Sleepy LaBeef, Billy Lee Riley, Dion, and Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins brought roots Rock'n'Roll into the 21st Century. Wanda Jackson was also honored with a tribute album featuring acolytes like Rosie Flores and Asylum Street Spankers.

Disciples like Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Electric Light Orchestra (with guests George Harrison and Ringo Starr), The Who, Moe Tucker, Tom Waits, Ry Cooder, and John Fogerty kept the roots party rolling.

Revivalists like Hank C. Burnette (Sweden), Joe Strummer, The Blasters, Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker, Los Lobos, The Pretenders, and James Intveld conducted new currents.

Wanda Jackson, Brian Setzer, Shemekia Copeland


But what's a retrobilly to do when every '50s classic has been covered so much? Well, do '50s-style covers of post-'50s classics by The Beatles, The Doors, The Monkees, Steppenwolf, CCR, Led Zeppelin, John Lennon, Sex Pistols, Ramones, Nick Lowe, Generation X, The Blasters, The Undertones, Devo, X, Golden Earring, and Stray Cats, of course. And so many covered The Clash that it filled a tribute album.

Or you could write new songs about Elvis Presley (like Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Joan Baez, The Who, Black Stripe, Patti Scialfa), Gene Vincent (Jean Vincent), Johnny Cash (Gary Allan), Carl Perkins (Drive-By Truckers), Chuck Berry (Mikabomb), Sister Rosetta Tharpe (Noisettes, Sam Phillips), and Bo Diddley (Seasick Steve).

Then again, you could be actual Rock royalty carrying on the lineage like Billy Burnette, Lisa Marie Presley, John Lee Hooker Jr., and Shemekia Copeland.



𝟭l
Roots


Sue Foley, Debbie Davies, Carolyn Wonderland


Rock'n'Roll distilled from a gumbo of roots musics, and those traditions still sustained.

Blues boiled with Deborah Coleman, Fernest Arceneaux, Marcia Ball, Sue Foley, Lucinda Williams, Debbie Davies, Carolyn Wonderland, and Janiva Magness.

Country kicked with Bastard Sons Of Johnny Cash (no relation), Gillian Welch, Junior Brown, The Bellefuries, Lynette Morgan And The Backwater Valley Boys, The Lucky Stars, Lonesome Spurs, k.d. lang, The Stumbleweeds, Caroline Casey And Her Stringslingers, and The Figs, and boogied with Rockin' Bonnie And The Rot Gut Shots (Italy).

And upgraded the hoedown with the Cajun of Pine Leaf Boys and the Tejano of Flaco Jimenez.



𝟭m
Trads


Keeping the spirit of the era alive as a pliable living tradition were James Hunter, Lester Peabody, T-Bone Burnette, Tokyo Tramps (Japan), and the evergreen Chris Isaak.



𝟭n
World


Rock'n'Roll is typecast as an invention of the United States. This is shortsighted, because it comes from roots musics imported in by all of its immigrants; musicoligists have tracked its origins back through Europe, the Middle East, South America, and Africa...plus. All nations helped birth Rock, and all of them echoed it back as soon as it took off in the '50s.

Gatos Locos


Rock'n'Roll is intrinsically rooted internationally, and it's natural, not a strange fluke, that it is reflected so strongly by acts like Gatos Locos (Spain), Baby Horror (Spain), Les Sexereenos (Canada), Os Catalepticos (Brazil), Aikka Hakala (Finland), and Sugar Lady (Taiwan). (As well as many other acts already listed.)



𝟭o
Screen


As decades passed, filmmakers often rolled through ruminations on their childhood. Where reflections of the '50s dominated films of the '70s, by now the screen were transmuting the '60s (THE INCREDIBLES, OCEANS 11, DREAMGIRLS, HAIRSPRAY, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, TAKING WOODSTOCK, PIRATE RADIO); and the '70s (KILL BILL, ZODIAC, MILK, FROST/NIXON, BLACK DYNAMITE); and some of the '80s (GRINDHOUSE, WATCHMEN, George W. Bush).

The '50s figured as a backdrop, contrasting conformity with the unconventional, in films like A BEAUTIFUL MIND (2001) and BIG FISH (2003). THE INVASION (2007) attempted to satirize contemporary conformity in the Bush-era in the fourth and weakest screen-telling based on Jack Finney's book, "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" (1955).

Gary Clark, Jr. in HONEYDRIPPER


But the 1950s maintained its strongest presence for our purposes in musical dramas. From the TV-movie LITTLE RICHARD (2000) and Ray Charles bio-pic RAY (2004), to the Bobby Darin bio-pic BEYOND THE SEA (2004) and the Johnny Cash bio-pic WALK THE LINE (2005), to NOWHERE BOY (2009), where the young John Lennon and Paul McCartney first meet. Two films in 2008 chronicled the Chess Records story; CADILLAC RECORDS, with Beyonce and Adrian Brody, and WHO DO YOU LOVE?, starring guitarist Robert Randolph (as Bo Diddley) and David Oyelowo (as Muddy Waters). Similarly, New Orleans guitar sensation Gary Clark Jr belted out the backwoods blues as star of John Sayles' fictional HONEYDRIPPER (2007).





If the massive success of CDs in the '90s had filled label coffers, archived the past fresh for new ears, and sparked genre music revivals, then the decline of CDs because of the internet in the 2000s could have been a black hole in the cultural tub.

Instead, the decentalization of the record monopolies freed artists, forcing them into using the new digital platforms to reach more listeners in new guerilla indie ways. There were now more vital acts in all the classic styles than ever, and a determination to keep the roots of Rock'n'Roll eternal into its second century.
