Craig Morrison – författare

This is the first comprehensive overview of rockabilly, beginning with its crystallization as a distinct style in 1954 with Elvis Presley's world-changing release of "That's All Right." Presenting the who, what, where, and when of the music, Craig Morrison's lively account sparks memories of "Blue Suede Shoes," "Be-Bop-A-Lula," Jerry Lee Lewis, and Buddy Holly. Morrison traces how a genre with roots in country and country blues, R&B, and western swing became the sound that helped build rock and roll, profiling not just rockabilly artists and recordings but the attitude and instrumentation that made the music a phenomenon.

From Ardglass: "Ardglass is an adventure of a course, withsplendid views to the Mountains of Mourne, over the Irish Sea to the Isle ofMan, and beyond to Scotland and England. The golf is very good and select holesare truly great."From The Island: "Confusingly, The Island is no longerstrictly on an island, but it does sit on its own peninsula, surrounded by thesea on three sides. In contrast to other coastal courses in this centraleastern stretch, The Island has heaving dunes. Sure, it can be said of so manyIrish links courses, especially on the other side of the island, that they havemighty sandhills. But really, these are something to behold."From Spanish Point: "This is a mature nine-hole linkscourse, established in 1896, overlooking the beach at Spanish Point, halfwaybetween Lahinch and Doonbeg. It's twice round for a par 68 at over 5,000 yards.And you probably will want to play it twice. Out here, on the Wild AtlanticWay, the longest coastal touring route in the world, this sporty links has twopar 5s and closes with two uproarious par 3s."GOLFLAND IRELAND is the second title from publishing house, Oltomo.
