www.babyblueeyespromotions.co.ukHave you noticed the girls with headscarves tied in a knot around gravity defying back combed hair? Boys with tight blue jeans and even tighter white T-shirts? Amy Winehouse and her red lips and streaks of black eyeliner? Richard Hawley's rodeo shirts and lacquered hair? There are more and more characters entering our everyday lives who wear this larger than life style. But they are not the first; the style is taken from a period in time when these clothes and aesthetic were an outward expression of a new era. The first time the young experienced 'freedom', this was the 40's and 50's.No one had ever heard the term teenager before the late 40's, after the depression . America and England experienced (both mentally and financially), as a result of two world wars, those coming of age at this time realised life was too short. They began spending the countries new earned cash on all the fruits of the new, freer world around them. Saturday night's were spent 'necking' at the drive in, cruising in and posing in front of sleek sports cars. Cash was splashed in record stores, in diner jukeboxes and on new poodle skirts and slacks to jitterbug in at the high school dances.All the while Rock 'n' Roll provided the hormonally charged and sexually suggestive soundtrack to the era. Dion and The Belmonts wined about the angst of being a 'Teenager in Love', Elvis moved his controversial pelvis declaring he was 'All Shook Up' and the Johnny Burnette Trio lamented on teenage heartbreak with 'Lonesome Tears in my Eyes'. It was a time of rebellion, spurred on by the powerful beat from the tunes of the decade, conservatives declared it the devils' music and even today Legacy Recordings, a record label who put out original rockabilly hits, advertise the content of their CDs as 'the original voice of teen frustration, known to anger parents and induce juvenile deliquency'. Rockabilly is a hybrid of the genres rock and roll and hillbilly, referencing its roots in the black influenced 12 bar blues and country and western crooning and finger picking.Baby Blue Eyes is all about this feeling, the first flush of youth, teen crushes and moving to the music just because it sounds good! With any subculture, the elite claim as their own - closing the door and turning their back on the excitement and open mindedness that created it in the first place. But Baby Blues Eyes is throwing the doors wide open again. Baby Blues Eyes is about the music and the fun that can be had listening to it.
