It's Rockabilly Week!
"Rockabilly started in the mid-50s at the dawn of
Rock & Roll with the influential recordings
Elvis Presley made for
Sun Records. Originally it was
Country musicians playing their own version of uptempo
Rhythm & Blues music, resulting in this new style. It usually features driving guitars, frantic vocals and slap-back echo in the bass. Rockabilly still has a big following with new artists emerging every year."
