I´ve been enjoying quite a lot of rockabilly lately. Hadn´t played the stuff for years, but right now I´m really digging that fifties madness again like crazy. Honest, deceptively simple music with a slap bass, great vocals drenched in echo and guitars running wild.
The obvious sounds from the Sun label, or from famous names like Gene Vincent or Johnny Burnette´s Rock ´n´ Roll Trio are amazing of course. But I´ve always had a special weakness for those obscure gems as found on compilations like Sin Alley, Desperate Rock ´n´ Roll, Rockin´ Bones, Born Bad and Songs The Cramps Taught Us. Here´s a bunch of them. Go, cat, go.
