Vintage Rock Issue 63 (June/July 2023)

Vintage Rock Issue 63 (June/July 2023) Eddie Cochran

For our latest issue, we take an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming feature-length big screen Eddie Cochran documentary that aims to bring the rock’n’roll icon to a new generation of fans – and also opens up his family archive to reveal unheard master recordings as well as unseen paintings, photographs and 8mm film that’s hitherto been kept under wraps.

Elsewhere, there’s a first for the pages of Vintage Rock – an animated rockabilly supergroup no less. Recording their album remotely during lockdown, The Barnestormers features Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes, guitarist Chris Cheney, UK national treasure Jools Holland and the hardest working man in rock’n’roll, Slim Jim Phantom.

We also have a must-read interview with Shakin’ Stevens who returns with powerful concept album Re-Set, where he’s emerged as the Greta Thunberg of rock’n’roll. Meanwhile, The Delta Bombers reveal all about their brand new studio album Neon Sounds and we also catch up with The Zombies’ Colin Blunstone, Italian trio The Glad Rags and trailblazing rocker Marty Stuart.

We also look back at the history of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and grab our popcorn to celebrate the finger-wagging teen morality movie High School Confidential!

Our classic album is the eponymous debut LP by The Coasters and we also count down our favourite British hit covers of U.S. songs.
