A Bit of Rockabilly (ish) Music to get the Heavy Rebel Weekender vibe started


What's Rockabilly?  That's what I asked one of my friends in about 1982 when this song came on MTV.  The Stray Cats showed Generation X what rockabilly was.  Glad they did.

"Gene and Eddie" - The Stray Cats

"Be-Bop-A-Lula" - Gene Vincent & his Blue Caps

"C'mon Everybody" - Eddie Cochran

"Great Balls of Fire" - Jerry Lee Lewis

"Rumble in Brighton" - The Stray Cats

"Johnny Got a Boom Boom" - Imelda May

"Rock This Town" - Brian Setzer Orchestra

"Psycho" - Imelda May

"Jump Jive & Wail" - Brian Setzer Orchestra

...and one epic surf guitar song for good measure...

"Miserlou" - Dick Dale
