The Ultimate 1950s Rock’n’Roll Companion

The Ultimate 50s Rock'n'Roll Companion is your essential guide to the decade that changed everything. In this special issue, we shine a spotlight on the greatest albums of the era – from Elvis Presley’s game-changing debut, to Eddie Cochran’s classic 'Singin’ To My Baby'; Chuck Berry’s peerless 'Chuck Berry Is On Top’, to Bill Haley’s era-defining 'Rock Around The Clock'. We’re also profiling many of the 1950s’ most revolutionary artists, from Johnny and Dorsey Burnette of The Rock’n’Roll Trio to Bo Diddley to Gene Vincent to Billy Lee Riley to Carl Perkins. Not only that, but we’re counting down the Top 100 rock’n’roll singles of the 50s and remember that fateful day in February ’59 when we lost Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richie Valens.
