Hot Chickens – Rock’n’roll Vendetta (2025): Old Monsieur’s…
R means a rooster! V means vendetta! Moreover, the rooster is exclusively Gallic. But with the letter R, everything is much more interesting. These are "rock and roll", and "rockabilly" and even "rhythm and blues".…

The Peacocks – And Now What? (2024) Stories…

Linda Gail Lewis – Rockabilly Queen (2024) Rockabilly…
There is a wonderful paragraph 63 in the rules of the Internet: any character must have a version of the opposite sex. It has not spared the rock and roll galaxy either, because Jerry Lee…
