Everything Rockabilly

My absolute all time favorite rockabilly song is the Sun Records issue of Boppin' the Blues by Carl Perkins. I saw him live around 25 years ago and he blew my mind.

Another classic is Eddie Cochran's Summertime Blues. I love the guys who hand clap along with his songs. I wonder if hand clappers had a lot of groupies back in the good old days.

File under sexually repressed teenagers. Check out this wild & wooly rendition of The Train Kept-A-Rollin' by Johnny Burnette. This film segment was condemned by the Legion of Decency in the 1950s for "suggestive costumes" and "lust inducing dancing."
