Rockabilly Magnets
Description: Brian Robert Setzer (born April 10, 1959) is an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He found widespread success in the early 1980s with the 1950s-style rockabilly group Stray Cats, and returned to the music scene in the early 1990s with his swing revival band, the Brian Setzer Orchestra. In 1987, he made a cameo appearance as Eddie Cochran in the film La Bamba.
Description: Two words. That's the whole argument. "Burning Love" is one of Elvis's most ferocious recordings — a song that doesn't negotiate, doesn't slow down, doesn't explain itself. This typographic design takes that title and renders it in red on white: clean, direct, nothing to distract from the weight of the phrase. Some titles work on their own. This is one of them. It doesn't need context. It is the context.
Description: Paul Albert Anka is a Canadian-American singer, songwriter, and actor who has composed hundreds of songs, including international hits.

Description: Ever wish you'd seen Wayne Cochrane & His C.C. Riders perform live? I do. And if I had, I would definitely had gotten a souvenir tour shirt to remember it by. This is a recreation of an awesome shirt that promoted a 1970s show. Cochran was soul singer popular in the 60s and 70s with a performance style that was nearly identical to the other soul godfather, Mr. JB. Cochran wrote the song "Last Kiss" and appeared in the 1970 biker film, C.C. and Company. Oh yeah, he had the most amazing hair you've ever seen, too.
Description: Elvis Aaron Presley, also known simply as Elvis, was an American singer and actor. He is regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century and is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King". His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, led him to great success—and initial controversy.
