Vintage Rock Issue 68 (April/May 2024) Wanda Jackson

In our latest issue, we celebrate Wanda Jackson’s 70 years in music and include chats with the current generation of rockin’ female artists who pay tribute to the influence of the Queen of Rockabilly.

Also marking a 70th anniversary, we trace the genesis of the most iconic guitar in music history – the Fender Stratocaster. Elsewhere, we meet legendary singer-songwriter Dion DiMucci who unveils his superb new duets album Girl Friends and we also chart the rise of fall of rock’n’roll DJ Alan Freed.

As a new biography about Colonel Tom Parker by his protégé Greg McDonald is published, we pose the question – was Elvis Presley’s controversial manager a much-misunderstood genius? We also tell the story behind Bill Haley’s Rock Around The Clock single and uncover some flipside gold for our Top 20 B-sides countdown.

Our latest classic album is the Georgia Peach’s eponymous 1958 second LP, Little Richard, and we also profile charismatic bandleader Louis Prima.
