I was too young to see the original rockabilly singers. And although I was never in the presence of Elvis Presley or Gene Vincent, I did get to see quite a few of the artists who kept that crucial flame alive for those of us who weren't there at the beginning. From among that group, Robert Gordon was the greatest. He had the voice, the understated charisma, the sense of drama and the taste to convey all of the original excitement to the next generation of gone cats. A great example of his taste, by the way, is the fact that he nearly always plays with a rock 'n' roll trio of guitar, bass and drums, which is just as it should be. He's one of the few rockers who (truly) understands that less is more. Here's a great clip of him doing Conway Twitty's "It's Only Make Believe": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwB7itzYIMo. And here's a link to his website: http://www.robertgordon.dk/.
