Voyageur Press have announced a May 15, 2011 release date for a new book called "Rockabilly: The Twang Heard 'Round the World: The Illustrated History"

Here is what the publisher has to say about it: Rockabilly was born out of country, bluegrass, jazz, and the blues in the 1950s, becoming rock 'n' roll and ruling the world.

Here's the story of Elvis Presley's first Sun records that inspired all. And here's Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and many more rockabillies from the golden years through today.

Filled with collectible memorabilia, movie posters, rare records, fashion, and rebel lifestyle, and featuring contributions from Greil Marcus, Peter Guralnick, Luc Sante, Robert Gordon, Deke Dickerson, and more, Rockabilly is the ultimate celebration of the music that shook hips and the world!
