No need for tears Shaks, from your point of view you should be happy that he started as a punk and then moved to rockabilly. I'd have preferred he stayed as a punk
Influences and early career[edit] Robert Gordon grew up in Bethesda, Maryland, United States. At the age of nine, he was greatly inspired by the Elvis Presley song "Heartbreak Hotel" playing on radio and decided to pursue a career as a rock and roll musician at that young age.[1] Gordon's influences included Gene Vincent, Jack Scott, Billy Lee Riley, Eddie Cochran and other notable rock 'n roll music artists of the period. Seems like he was a rock n roller first
Fair enough Shaks, I just knew he was in the Tuff Darts and then moved onto to doing rockabilly as a professional choice, but my point still stands that you should be happy that he ditched punk for rockabilly professionally
I've always thought that American punk was different to British punk. Actually the Yanks have called juvenile delinquents punks for ages. But if I'm honest I never knew he dabbled in that type of music. I was travelling back to my relatives on the metro after buying his album on tape(if that makes sense) from Virgin which was in the newly finished Eldon Square shopping centre in Newcastle and that was my first taste of his music. Sorry went on a reminiscing ramble.
