Everything Rockabilly

I like listening to 50's rockabilly. Almost any but Eddie Cochren and Johnny Burnette are the best.
Imelda May is a current favorite.
I have not checked out the above yet.

Speaking of psychobilly - I saw The Cramps decades ago in what was a very memerable local show.

I heard Imelda May's music for the first time this month and enjoy three of her songs very much. I like her rich, warm voice, her sometimes quirky and humorous lyrics, and the upbeat rockabilly sound with admirable performances by the musicians:

Imelda May - "It's Good To Be Alive"
Cute video!

Imelda May - "Inside Out"
Seductive yet amusing. I don't know what loving someone "like a hobo" entails, and it doesn't sound altogether desirable to me, but it is odd, so the line sticks in my mind.

Imelda May - "Mayhem"
A solid song with great energy. This song makes me want to learn how to play the trumpet.
