history

The label was founded in 1970 by Ronny Weiser, initially as a rockabilly fanzine. Over the years it developed into a full-fledged record label.

In 1971, Rollin 'Rock began reissuing recordings from the 1950s and eventually released new recordings from 1974 by artists from the 1950s such as Ray Campi , Mac Curtis , Gene Vincent and Alvis Wayne , Charlie Feathers , Johnny Carroll , Narvel Felts and contemporary rockabilly artists like The Blasters .

In 1977, Weiser organized a tour of England with Campi and Curtis, inspiring a completely new generation for this style of music.

Quentin Tarantino used the Rollin 'rock song That Certain Female by Charlie Feathers in his movie Kill Bill - Volume 1 .
In 2013 VISA / NFL used the same title in a US TV spot.

Before the rock 'n' roll weekender that takes place in Las Vegas every year, the label regularly holds a meet and greet with its stars.
