ABOUT OUR NEW ISSUES 213
Our new issue for June (#213) offers the third instalment of Jerry Lee Lewis’ activities through 1958, this time we reach the month of April. We have gathered such a huge amount of information, photos, newspaper, and magazine clips along with contemporary advertising that this time there is just the one month covered - the 64 pages being jam packed with interesting reading,. Jerry had a very hectic touring schedule, in particular the Alan Freed ‘Big Beat’ show that started late March and continued undaunted through the month and would not end until early May. More than 40 cities were on the schedule of the huge troupe which, according to the press at the time, comprised 17 top recording stars and four bands. The top act was obviously Jerry, but the package included, among others, such stellar performers as Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and the Crickets, Frankie Lymon, the Diamonds, and Larry Williams. And in the UK, the trade papers started to write more about the upcoming UK tour scheduled to open May 24th at the Edmonton Regal. Last but not least a review section completes the magazine.

ABOUT THE MAGAZINE
American Music Magazine is published by the Swedish Rock 'n' Roll Club. We are a non profit organisation devoted to the 1950s rock 'n' roll music and our intention is to document, as far as possible, the early years of rock-a-billy, rock 'n' roll and its related artforms. The text of the magazine is in Swedish and English. Each issue is full of original photographs and discographies.
AM works in co-operation with the "Tales From The Woods" Roots Music Social Networking Group in the U.K. The aim is to collaborate to keep rock ‘n' roll, its history, and its many talented artists and musicians alive for posterity and future generations – this through sharing articles that have appeared in our magazines over the years, helping each other with publicity and generally spreading the word not just to the converted, but also to those yet to share our enthusiasm.

American Music Magazine är producerad av 1950s fans för fans och är en svensk tidning med både svensk och engelsk text. Tidningen utkommer med tolv nummer om året och handlar företrädesvis om 50-tals rock 'n' roll, och relaterade musikformer som exempelvis hillbilly/country och rhythm ’n’ blues. American Music Magazine drivs helt ideelt utan ekonomisk vinning.
American Music Magazine samarbetar med "Tales From The Wood - Roots Music Social Networking Group" som är ett namnkunnigt engelskt nätverk med bred verksamhet inom vår musik. Syftet är att gemensamt arbeta för att hålla rock 'n' rollmusiken, dess historia och dess många talangfulla artister och musiker levande för eftervärlden och kommande generationer - detta genom att dela artiklar som publicerats i våra respektive tidningar genom åren, hjälpa varandra med publicitet och sprida det glada budskapet inte bara till de redan frälsta utan också till sådana som ännu inte delar vår entusiasm och passion för denna musik.
