A Rocket in My Pocket: The Hipster's Guide to Rockabilly Music ReviewThat it took until 2010 for the definitive history of rockabilly to be published is, perhaps, as great a mystery as why Charlie Feathers ain't a household name. In lesser hands, this book would've easily constituted Crimes Against Timber, but in the very capable hands of Max Décharné, we have completely different results. Steering miles away from coming across as academic or didactic, dry or boring, Décharné [or Max, as I like to call him] has given us a book every bit as loaded with history as it is loaded with the author's own passion, enthusiasm and knowledge. Quite unlike other books covering similar ground, Décharné never once tries to put himself across as being somehow cooler than his subject matter of choice, which has always been my problem with many of his peers. The remarkable strength of this book is that it's equally approachable for the curious novice as well as for the jaded rockabilly aficionado. No small feat, that. From the familiar stories that bear repeating [Jerry Lee, Elvis, Carl Perkins] to stories of the criminally unsung [Marvin Rainwater, Joe Clay, Gene Maltais] and the deliriously unhinged [Hasil Adkins, Mel Robbins, The Phantom], this book packs a hell of a wallop. Max Décharné has a long history of setting his standards high - equally through his music and his authorly doings - and 'A Rocket In My Pocket' only raises those standards. Recommended with supreme confidence.
