Description: | Like almost no other contemporary, Vince Taylor embodies the early heyday of British rock 'n' roll. Borrowing from the
sound and stage show of his great idol Gene Vincent, he began copying U.S. originals in the late 1950s. But he took the
next step and recorded immortal classics like Brand New Cadilac and later Jet Black Machine.
Vince Taylor's myth is based on his wild, ecstatic live performances, which in those late fifties days must have eclipsed
anything seen or heard up to that time. Like no other, he brought the energy and charisma of his idols like Elvis Presley
or Gene Vincent to the stage. Dressed in leather gear, he raged across the stage, accompanied by his Playboys, the
perfect backing band for him. They pushed him with their hard sound and brought the auditorium to a boil!
Some see him as a forefather of punk - but for sure, the rocker, who was popular and successful not only in Great
Britain but also in France and Benelux, was one of the wildest guys of his time.
Amazingly, Vince Taylor has managed to reproduce the power of his live shows in the studio. We wish you a good time
with the great legend of British rock, Vince Taylor! - THE BRITS ARE ROCKING, VOL.8 / 36PGS BOOKLET-The eighth CD edition in 'The Brits Are Rocking' series on Bear Family Records® - presenting one of the most important British artists of his time!-Vince Taylor fulfilled all the clichés of the wild rocker like no other European in the late '50s and early '60s.-His attributes included the leather clothes, the wild and often strange stage shows, drug use and his anyway unbridled temperament. |
