Members knotty Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 Been listening to '20 flite rock' and the driving backing to ' guy down the chip shop swears he's Elvis'.Please suggest some starter Rockabilly albums/songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members capitalist Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 I won't suggest any albums, but here is a short listing of artists living and dead. Carl Perkins, Billy Riley, Brian Setzer, Jim Heath of The Reverend Horton Heat(my current favorite since I have recorded with them.). I am sure a Google search will yield an extensive listing of notable artists of this genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billybilly Posted January 21, 2013 Members Share Posted January 21, 2013 No recommendations as such but its good stuff. It took me awhile to really appreciate it, like a fine wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jpnyc Posted January 21, 2013 Members Share Posted January 21, 2013 Both of these albums are excellent contemporary cover albums. Most of them sound much better than the originals because the originals were, sadly, low-quality acetate recordings.Chris Isaak Beyond the SunBrian Setzer Rockabilly Riot Volume 1Jeff Beck did a great rockabilly album called Crazy Legs.Bands to Check out: Carl Perkins, The Head Cat, Brian Setzer, Stray Cats, Reverend Horton Heat, Hillbilly Moon Explosion, Imelda May, Rosie Flores, Wanda Jackson, Buddy Holly, Jace EverettRockabilly can really suck you into a roots-of-rock k-hole, so do your wallet a favor and get a Spotify account before you get in too deep!

Members brianeharmonjr Posted January 21, 2013 Members Share Posted January 21, 2013 Eddie Cochran, Brian Setzer, and Carl Perkins is more than enough of a starting place, but getting plenty of Eddie Cochran is most important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
