Elvick Preckley Unplugged
Framed canvas
33" x 24"
£1,600

 

It's February 1956 in the Assembly Rooms, Beavod County, Tennessee, and the young white pretender is giving it plenty to a thin audience of assorted pond life. The small-time impresario, Colonel Tim Porker, ever on the lookout for new talent, is proffering the oblivious warbler a contract unique in the history of popular music, one that if signed would prevent Preckley from ever again performing in Beavod County.
N.B. Elvick's drummer here, Boyd Skellington, a session man of mixed English and Native American parentage, was later to sit in with the band Redbone on a number of their recordings.
