It rolled out of Tennessee and took the world by surprise. It was a time when Jerry Lee Lewis, with his boogie-style piano playing and flashy performances, was a living legend until he married his thirteen-year-old cousin and caused a national scandal. It was a time when a young Elvis Presley was involved in the legendary Sun label recording sessions and with his tough good looks and sexual gyrations, was creating a phenomenon known as the rock Concert. It was a time when Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers were combining Negro rhythm and blues with a country-western sound and "tearin' it up" all over the Southeast. They all played at one time or another, at the Nashville JubileeTM. The Jubilee is known today as the "Birth place of the stars" Baby Boy Watkins (Denton Blane Everett), a piano playing combination of Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Elvis, finally gets his big break and is invited to play the Nashville JubileeTM. His manager, Dirty Dawkins (Todd Farr), has set up his visit to the Nashville JubileeTM followed immediately by a sold out performance at the Worlds Fair in New Orleans. However, Baby Boy's sister, Jollene (Brandi Price), shows up backstage at the Nashville JubileeTM imploring Baby Boy to return home with her. ROCKABILLY BABY is a roller coaster ride of emotions, chock full of all original rockabilly music... It was the birth of what we call today, Rock and Roll, set to the tune of a heart wrenching great story. It was the ROCKABILLY ERA. When it was over,... Nothing was ever quite the same. From an original stage play by LESLIE JORDAN. Adapted for the screen by KEN FARMER. |
