The Sound of Fury


Don’t worry its just the title of Billy Fury’s first album in 1960. I am a big rockabilly fan and the more obscure the record the better. Not that Mr. Fury is obscure; he is a legend in the UK but much less well known here in North America.

I have a real soft spot for early British rock and roll and he was the best. Two tunes for your consideration, Don’t Knock Upon My Door (a rocker) and A Thousand Stars, a sappy romantic ballad, yes I can freely admit to liking those now.

In an earlier incarnation I dyed my hair blond to look more like Billy when he starred as Stormy Tempest in the movie That’ll Be the Day. You know come to think of it I do look good as a blond.

  1. Meh. We all have to try being a blonde some time I guess (thankfully I saved no pictures from my venture there). Your current color suits you much better.

    Also - rockabilly is good, but I personally enjoyed it much better in its punkier 90's revival form.

  2. Wow, April - awesome outfit. Was this an event where there were many trans people, or were you just out in the midst of the public? If I were out there, I would have completely dismissed your "maleness". Great job of blending in - and by the way, awesome legs, girl!
