Chanteur Rockabilly US né Alvis Wayne Samford, le 31
Décembre
1937 à Paduka (Texas). Alvis Wayne a débuté en 1956 chez Wesport, se produisant dans la région de San Antonio. Redécouvert par Ronnie Weiser au milieu des années soixante-dix, il réenregistre à nouveau. Depuis Alvis a repris ses activités de mécanicien, raccrochant sa guitare dans le placard des souvenirs.
Alvis Wayne est décédé le 31 Juillet 2013.
Although he's not
necessarily the most renowned rockabilly artist, Alvis Wayne was an early
contributor to the scene. Born in Puduka, TX, on December 31st, 1937, Wayne was
part of a large family, and grew up very poor during the infamous Great
Depression era. He was still a youngster when he discovered country and blues
via the radio, especially such artists as
Jimmie Rodgers, the Mississippi Blue Yodler,
Hank Snow,
Eddy Arnold, and
Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, which
lead to receiving his first guitar at the age of ten. By his 12th birthday,
Wayne began playing nightclubs and honkey tonks, and when he was 20, he had
joined a group called Tony Wayne & the Rhythm Wranglers, who issued a lone
single in 1957. The group split up shortly thereafter, but Wayne continued to
play with others leading to his own recording contract with Westport Records. In
1958, Wayne recorded an album's worth of tunes (although no full-length album
was ever issued), and one of the tracks, "Don't Mean Maybe Baby," became a
sizeable hit in southern Texas, which lead to constant touring around the Lone
Star State. Wayne continued to record and tour until 1960, when he joined the
U.S. Airforce. Wayne continued to record and tour once he completed his stay
with the Airforce, and via record collectors, a cult following began to grow (especially
in the U.K.) due to his under appreciated '50s singles. Nearly 40 years after
his initial string of singles, a pair of Alvis Wayne full-length albums were
finally released on the Rolling Rock label -- 2000's Rockabilly Daddy and 2001's
Proud of My Rockabilly Roots.
Alvis Wayne died on July 31, 2013.
