Rock-a-billy or rockabilly as its know know was a 50s fashion music era that literally has gone on for decades and is still a good source of music and fashion to this very day. It had A touch of country, a bit of swing and some good old fashion rock n roll with some gospel and maybe a bit of folk music all in bedded to make a great collection of dance music.
The music was not serious by any means and just was all abit of fun. It was fun to listen to and very fun to dance to as well. We are very lucky we still have it.
Rockabilly music was definitely one of those genres that helped shape rock and roll to just rock and even punk music. Music does devine those who listen and we style ourselves on the music we love. Fortunalty for me, I style myself on pure rockabilly and enjoy all my favorite clothes from rockabillyclothing50s.com.
The most I do get out of the rockabilly era is definitely the style and the music, You really to this day. "cant beat it". You will always see films,games and entertainment with the old rockabilly music in the background. I can name a long list of games and movies that I have seen that feature some sort of rockabilly music or clothes on there.
So what are you waiting for, go listen to some great music.
