MARVIN RAINWATER The Rock-a-billy King
|
| Hey you Hep Cats........................pay attention here! |
|
Marvin Rainwater is
The Rockabilly King! In the early days of rockabilly, rock and roll music was
being invented over and over every day.
Names like Elvis, The
Big Bopper,Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Bill Black,Roy
Orbison, Charlie Rich,Conway Twitty, Narvel Felts, and many more were
writing and rewriting the music and lyrics of a generation. Johnny
Horton was playing a country -rockabilly sound that the world couldn't
get enough of. Our guy Marvin was on top of the charts with "Bluebird"
and "Whole Lotta Woman" and many more, not only in the US, but
all over the world. Appearing on concert tours with every Rock n Roll
star you can think of, Marvin was right there at the beginning of rock
music. His Rockabilly classic songs such as "Mr. Blues" and" Hot and
Cold" have assured Marvin Rainwater a place forever in the hearts of
rockabilly fans! Even Mike Ness of the Punk Rock Group "Social
Distortion" has honored Marvin as a major musical influence by
including "Gamblin Man" on his latest album "Under The Influences."
Country, Rockabilly,Pop, and Rock and Roll have all been influenced by
Marvins creative touch! Today , the
saga continues! Star billing at such venues as Hembsy, Viva Las Vegas
2001 and Americana 2001, and feature status on such shows as Otto Fuchs
Rocket 88 definitely keep reminding the world of the status of Marvin
Rainwater....."The Rockabilly King"!

Staying Young Marvin Style! "Rockabilly Music Is The
Fountain of Youth"! I've heard that out of
Marvin's mouth more than once!
While other men his age are retired, or just
sitting around getting old, Marvin continues to remain
ageless. Why? A couple of reasons....living the good life in
Minnesota's northland..fishing , hunting and gardening help for sure!
Being married to a beautiful, kind woman who happens to be a bit
younger is a big help too!After all, as
Marvin says, "You're only as old as the woman you're out with!" But the
most important reason Marvin is so ageless is Rockabilly Music! With a
brand new CD coming out soon consisting of all new, mindblasting ,
grinding, rocking, roaring Rockabilly, Marvin sounds younger and more
vital than he ever has ! He's a joy to be around, and hard to keep up
with! Maybe its all the vitamins he takes.
