"They called it Rockabilly long before they called it Rock"n"Roll..." so sings the undisputed Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson on her 2006 album Remember Elvis. And whilst the Hillbilly Cat was undeniably the genre"s most famous protagonist, the exciting fusion of white Country music and black Rhythm & Blues that erupted across the US in the mid-50s made household names of many, and produced a wealth of recordings rarely equalled for unbridled energy and wild rebellion. The Rockabilly revival which took hold in the 1970s found a new audience for this music which endures to this day, making stars of the more obscure exponents twenty years after the event. Raw, rough and ready, Rockabilly paved the way for Pop music as we know it.
