Adam Ant - Goody Two Shoes

 

Indie rock legends The Smiths were also close to that 80s rockabilly revival too. They often fused Elvis’ Marie is the Name into their live sets. But once Morrissey went solo he had some even stronger rockabilly vibes thanks to Polecats guitarist Boz Boorer (see @Haristar ‘s post above) joining his band:

 

There's always Cold Chisel doing a bit of Rockabilly style on the track Rising Sun

 

Gene Vincent and his Blue Caps - Race With The Devil

 

Billy Fury - My Advice

 

Would the Cramps be classed as Rockabilly..?

 

Man, I love that song, did it ever chart on the regular Billboard Top 100 ?

 

Has anyone here every heard of the Flat Tires ???

Check 'em out...

 

Sonny Burgess the old Sun Recoding artist is a vastly under rated rockabilly star. Check out Sadies Back in aTown. He rocked till the end check out his take on Bigger Than Elvis.

 

Or warren Smith love Uranium Rock or Ubangi Aston.

Charlie Feathers is also great check out Tongue Tided Jill.

 

Nat Couty - Woodpecker Rock

 

Sonny Burgess - My Buckets Got a Hole in it

 

Ric Cartey - Scratchin on My Screen

 

Rockabilly is like 60's garage rock in that many of the best songs were done by artists who only ever released a couple of singles.

Bobby Roberts - "Big Sandy"

 

Danny Wolfe - Let's Flat Get It

 

Wayne Walker - "All I Can Do Is Cry"

 

I have no idea mate

 

Elvis - My Baby Left Me

 

Carl Perkins - Dixie Fried

 

Ok I’ll play

 

And I’ll throw this one into the on deck circle

 

Ronnie Dawson - Rockin Bones

 

Wanda Jackson. Still around. I have an album (CD) she made only a few years ago.

Is there any short but good quality Various Artist compilation easily available these days?
