ELVIS & THE BIRTH OF ROCK documents the extraordinary music bus tours that traveled the States during the fifties, often presenting several legendary performers in a single billing.
Mike McCartney: \”Everyone’s greatest influences appear in their teenage years. It’s that magical time. Lew Allen lived among Elvis, The Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly – all the people who influenced us as kids.\”
Lou Allen’s remarkable photography is published here exclusively. His rare book captures Elvis Presley on stage and behind the scenes; Buddy Holly playing and traveling, only a year before his untimely death; The Everly Brothers as headliners with their hit ‘Wake Up Little Susie’; Frankie Avalon primps in front of a mirror; Buddy Holly and Don Everly share private jokes and Bobby Darin singing on stage, winking for Lou’s camera.
