Blue Suede News #42 in mint condition. It features an extensive article about Washington garage rockers The Wailers who had the hit "Tall Cool One" and lots of other cool R&B influenced songs in the late '50s and early '60s. Another feature is “Backstage with the Crickets”, Buddy Holly’s famous backing band. Carl Perkins The Sun Rockabilly years is an interesting article about the Elvis label mate who wrote "Blue Suede Shoes." Louisiana '50s recording artist Joe Clay had some cool Rockabilly songs out back then and there is a nice story on him and also one about obscure hillbilly June Draper. Plus a photo layout with Josie Kreuzer, Kim Lenz, Rudy Grayzell, Wanda Jackson and more.

Every issue of Blue Suede News “House Organ of the Church of Rock’n’Roll” features articles/interviews/photos on pioneers of American Roots Music, and on those artists who are carrying on the traditions with a strong sense of roots.
