This issue of Blue Suede News “House Organ of the Church of Rock’n’Roll” has 48 pages and features articles/interviews/photos on pioneers of American Roots Music - Rockabilly, Rock'n'Roll, Blues, Country - , and on those artists who are carrying on the traditions with a strong sense of roots. There also is a huge review section covering CDs, DVDs, books, even sometimes vinyl records. Blue Suede News also covers Doo Wop, Surf, Cajun, Zydeco, Tex-Mex, Swing, Rhythm'n'Blues and alt. and traditional Country from Western Swing to Honky Tonk and everything in between.

Issue #90 has an interview with cover guy Nick Curran, whose new CD on Eclecto Groove Records is like the second coming of Little Richard, a pictorial and review of Cliff Richard & The Shadows 50th anniversary farewell tour in Australia, a story on the Vibrations (continued from our Jayhawks story of the previous issue), sort pieces on Italian Rockabilly singer Rockin' Bonnie, and Rockabilly original Don Woody, a nice color pictorial on a vintage Country music auction at Christie's in New York, featuring Nudie suits, guitars and stuff, another chapter on female singers of the '50s & 60s, a story on Chicago's Joel Paterson & the Modern Sounds, a review of a Roy Orbison LP reissued, a pictorial and story on a Vaden Records reunion show and and of course our usual extensive reviews section.
