    Rockin Rhys's Interests
GeneralI like my cars, rods and bikes and I own too many. I dig LP records, comics, horror movies, pinball, English motorcycles, Beck’s,cigarettes and Tattoos.
MusicMusically, oh man, where do I start…..Rockabilly and Country Bop is my bag but my tastes run deeper. I dig some jazz and blues too. Django Reinhardt is an idol or I can dig where Johnny “Guitar” Watson is coming from. Any thing recorded at Starday, Sun or King Records is hep as well as some of the 60’s gear such as The Sonics, The Wailers or Sam the Sham.Some other faves: Sanford Clark, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins or Roy Hall, Hank Williams, Roy Milton, Eddie Cochran,Link Davis,Johnny Horton, Moon Mullican, Benny Joy, Warren Smith, Link Wray and the Raymen, Slim Harpo, Muddy Waters, Richard Berry, The Ventures, Johhny Horton, Jimmy Heap and the Melody Masters, Ral Donna, Hank Williams, Wanda Jackson, Betty Mc Quade, Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant. Modern day movers: Ramblin' James and the Billy Boppers, Rockin' Ryan and the Real Gonners, Hank III, Omar, Jack Baymoore, Carlos and the Banditios, Hanks Jalopy Demons, Ray Condo, Rip Carson, Wayne Hancock, Roger Wallace. But man, that list just keeps on getting bigger every day. So much cool music, so little time!

Catch That Rockabilly Fever by Sheree Homer is a candid account of life on the road and in the studio with '50s legends and today's talent. These are personal stories told by the artists themselves. It's a soft cover biography that will be published in October 2009 by McFarland Publishers and retail for $39.95. It will have never before seen photos (strictly 1950's photos of the legends) and rare stories from the artists themselves. Catch That Rockabilly Fever will be approximately 350 pages in length. It will be unlike any other rockabilly book on the market since it will include some of today's hottest young talent plus insightful stories from 1950's backing musicians and engineers for the first time, such as James Kirkland (Bob Luman, Ricky Nelson), Richie Frost (Ricky Nelson), Steve Handford (Bobby Lee Trammell), Tony Austin (Rock and Roll Trio), Stanley Walker (Ray Smith), Bobby Poe (Wanda Jackson), Vernon Sandusky (Big Al Downing) and Bob Sullivan (KWKH/Louisiana Hayride). Foreword by acclaimed writer Ken Burke.
    These forty-six artists will have individual profiles and one glamorous photo per musician: Glen Glenn, Lew Williams, Art Adams, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Bob Luman, Ed Bruce, Dickey Lee, Jack Earls, Hayden Thompson, Maddox Brothers and Rose, Sonny Burgess, Carl Mann, Ray Smith, Johnny Powers, Larry Donn, Pat Cupp, Ronnie Hawkins, Bobby Lee Trammell, Huelyn Duvall, Gene Summers, Sonny West, Buddy Holly, The Collins Kids, Wanda Jackson, Charlie Gracie, Big Al Downing, Laura Lee Perkins, The Rock and Roll Trio, Narvel Felts, The Dave and Deke Combo, Kim Lenz, Go Cat Go, High Noon, Larry Cole, Cari Lee Merritt, Josie Kreuzer, Eddie Clendening, Suzy and Buddy Dughi, The Casey Sisters, Carl Sonny Leyland, Dawn Shipley, Sue Moreno, Ruby Ann, and Tex Rubinowitz.

Hey Rhys - thanks for all your help promoting the Voodo​o Jambo​ree - it went off without a hitch. Such a shame you couldn't make it (I'm looking at your profile pic, and thinking how well you'd have fit in!). Check out a few pics from the show and look forward to catching up soon.
Stay cool, Andy
