Description

A visual road trip from Route 66 to Route 666, this rockin’ collection of more than 600 artworks presents the unapologetically fun and undeniably cool spirit of rockabilly and psychobilly. The 55 artists featured here represent a global subculture and are some of today’s best lowbrow and cartoon artists, the de facto styles of the genre. Whether you’re burning for nostalgia or learning more about the phenomena, this massive collection is a study of some of the main themes of modern rockabilly culture, respect the past, be proudly defiant, and stay true to what you like. Here you’ll see a broad range of stylistic influence from the 1930s to the 1990s as well as other sub-pop cultures like jazz, ska, surf, burlesque, punk, and horror adorning album art, show posters, comics, pin-ups, and more. Complete with a playlist curated by the artists, this is a must-have volume of art by artist who are finding success despite being outsiders.

Art collection of the rockabilly/psychobilly aesthetic. Pinups, finks, and wolves galore. Tattoos, cars, and big hair! Vivid illustrations from many of the coolest genre inspired artists. Of course, rockabilly culture revolves around the music, so the song recommendations every few pages were a nice addition. Queue them up on your favorite music app to fully enjoy the experience.

Although there are lots of gorgeous illustrations and paintings to look at, I did notice a quite a few of my favorite underground psychobilly artists were not included in this book. I did end up seeing quite a few new pieces of art, so not necessarily a drawback.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free copy of this ebook in exchange for an unbiased review.
