The Rockabillies Mid-Century Modern Decor Design Coffee Table Book

The Rockabillies Mid-Century Modern Decor Design Coffee Table Book The Rockabillies (Center for American Places - Center Books on American Places) Elvis Presley. Pompadours. Black-and-white creeper shoes. Cuffed jeans. And a little bit of James Dean rebellion. These are just some of the ingredients of the modern Rockabilly style. Despite being generations removed from the original Rockabillies of the 1950s, today’s Rockabilly subculture has adopted the look—the slick-backed hair or the Betty Paige bangs—and the sound—from Carl Perkins to Buddy Holly—of mid-twentieth century American youth culture. In Rockabillies, photographer Jennifer Greenburg offers a visual tour of a unique global subculture and her own place within it. The individuals her photographs capture are examples of the rockabilly scene, having fully embraced the aesthetic values of teens in the 1950s. Dust jacket has one tear and a couple of imperfections. Approx measurements: 11.25" X 10.25" X .5"
