[HellsKitchenmanNYC]

Don't forget the Helen Lawson station! lol...Most staion have 50's or rockabilly music. Esp on 360.

 

[gjpo_77]

i prefer psychobilly

 

[HellsKitchenmanNYC]

Ahh psychobilly....I dunno I've never been to a PB show where you can understand anything anyone is singing.
Just saw once again the Roy Orbison PBS special again. Great guy, great singer.

I went to ye olde guitar store the other day, and on a whim deviated from my normal Paul Reed Smith fetish to try out some Gretsches. HOLY SHIT. They rock. I tried a Setzer model, a Chet Atkins Country Gentlemen, and some assorted white falcons and 6120s. They won't handle heavy distortion the way I require, but man! That clean tone was so crisp and bright while retaining hollowbody fullness.

Love Setzer, btw. And his thick, plucky, overdriven Gretsch tone!

Rockabilly is good stuff!
From childhood, I love Carl perkins, but as an adult, I added D.J. Bonebrake/Knitters and Setzer.

 

[D_Ivana Dickenside]

is social distortion still considered rockabilly? i don't know if they are anymore. if they still meet the rockabilly criteria count me in with them :wink:

LOL i kept reading "sleepy la beef" as "shia la beouf" :tongue:

 

[MASSIVEPKGO_CHUCK]

Do The Eagles count sort of? I mean, their music is somewhat rooted in rockabilly if you look long and hard enough.

 

[HellsKitchenmanNYC]

Janis Martin dies recently . Stacy....Mike Ness...mmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[B_ScaredLittleBoy]

I like CCR. The leaflet I got with the CD said they are/were rockabilly.

SoCal has a fantastic harder genre of Rockabilly..... some mixed in like Social Distortion, but other great bands like Deadbolt (The Scariest Band in the World).... love the lineup, with two dudes on bass:

HARLEY DAVIDSON: Voodoo Guitar, Vocals
R.A. MACLEAN: Bass, Vocals
3RD DEGREE BURNS: Bass, Vocals
BADTIME CHARLIE: Drums
PATCHES: Unknown

the Hootenanny festival in OC, Royal Crown Revue, X (they dipped a bit), Road Kill Kings, and a slew I know I'm missing.

 

[HellsKitchenmanNYC]

CCR? If you mean Creedence than no they are not.

2 on bass? Sweet. I'll have to check out those other bands. I saw ROyal Crown while I was at VLV this year.

 

[HellsKitchenmanNYC]

How about some rockabilly blended w/that delicious and potent variant known as western swing? How about the now defunct Cave Catt Sammy orthe Two Timin' Three. Love the Chops Tops also.

 

[HellsKitchenmanNYC]

Ya know it's weird...the last few weeks I've been hearing alot of Setzer music on commercials and they've been using lot of rockabilly on NYC radio show wrap-arounds lately. INteresting. :biggrin1:
