Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
For nearly twenty years, the much-beloved music magazine Roctober has featured work by some of the best underground cartoonists, exhaustive examinations of made-up genres such as ârobot rock,â and an ongoing exploration of everything Sammy Davis Jr. ever sang, said, or did. But the heart of the magazine has always been the lengthy conversations with overlooked or forgotten artists. Flying Saucers Rock ânâ Roll gathers the most compelling of these interviews. Eccentric, important artistsâincluding the rockabilly icon Billy Lee Riley, the jazz musician and activist Oscar Brown Jr., the âOutlaw Countryâ singer David Allan Coe, and the pioneer rock ânâ roll group the Treniersâgive the most in-depth interviews of their lengthy careers. Obscure musicians, such as the Armenian-language novelty artist Guy Chookoorian and the frustrated interstellar glam act Zolar X, reveal fascinating lives lived at rockâs margins. Roctoberâs legendarily dedicated writers convey telling anecdotes in the fervent, captivating prose that has long been appreciated by music enthusiasts. Along with the entertaining interviews, Flying Saucers Rock ânâ Roll features more than sixty images from the pages of Roctober and ten illustrations created for the book by the underground rock ânâ roll artist King Merinuk.
