Chuck Berry didn't get arrested for tax evasion in the fifties. It was for transporting a minor across state lines. He got busted for tax evasion in the eighties.

@tomthefunky
Good catch. Surprised nobody caught this mistake before. That crazy Chuck Berry! I'm sure he was transporting a minor across state lines to help her in some way, and not for anything immoral.

Wonder why he goes from the rockabilly of the '50s and skips to the early '80s Stray Cat era rockabilly but doesn't mention the late '70s UK rockabilly explosion with the Rockats and The Polecats and so forth. Didn't those bands start about 1978 or so? Also the Stray Cats started in about 1978 or so too?

Ken did in fact go into greater detail. The interview by himself logged in at a little over an hour so there is a lot of stuff edited out for the sake of making a ten minute video.

He gives the Stray Cats credit for the rockabilly revival of the 80s but the rockabilly revival was HUGE in the UK back in '76 (that said, the Stay Cats live were awesome). There were many bands who were rockin' until they sold out and created their version of pop-rockabilly. Ken is right, rockabilly will always be underground and obscure; as soon as you try to popularise it then it just loses its edge and becomes pop - just like it did in the 50s and in the same way that punk became new wave.

Actually Ken does mention how big rockabilly was in Europe in the 70's in his interview. However, I had to cut what was an hour and fifteen minute interview down to about four minutes and a lot of great stuff is not shown.
