Everything Rockabilly

A night of rockabilly or psychobilly is always fun in a club. I recommend The Delta Bombers if you haven't seen them. I saw them open up for RHH last year and they killed.

Along with his old college roommate/songwriting partner, Don Woody set out in the late 50s to be a songwriter, not a perforer. But after penning a song which ended up being the b side to Brenda Lee's first single, Decca Records offered to record him. Here's my favorite song by him. I like the bare bones arrangement that sticks to the basics and lets Woody's singing shine through:

Bram Tchaikovsky is best known as a member of The Motors and for his solo hit Girl Of My Dreams. On Funland, his last solo album to date, he did a rockabilly track:

This is the original of a song The Cramps covered for their first album:

Sadly, Dwight "Whitey" Pullen died way too young, at age 30 in 1961.

So do I. I never got to see them live.

Here's a tune from a guy who was certainly a vocal influence on Lux Interior, Charlie Feathers. Feathers never had a big national hit but was a big influence on a lot of musicians.

This fine rockabilly track was recorded by Johnny Rivers in either the late 50s or early 60s, prior to Rivers' success in the mid 60s
