I like Big Sandy and the Fly-Rite Trio. Rockabilly Rumble one and two are good compilation CDs that give a good sampling of some great bands. Of course Brian Setzer has done some awesome rockabilly in his solo career. You should check out his Rockabilly Riot "A tribute to Sun Records." Then there is Volbeat. Imagine Johny Cash, Elvis, Social Distortion, and Metallica having a love child. That is the only way I can describe their music.
I love the Hillbilly Hellcats. I have both of their CDs.
ReplyDeleteI like good rockabilly music when I can find it. Got any other favorites (besides the obvious Reverend Horton Heat)?

I talked with the lead singer, who says according to iTunes they're really popular in Belize and the Ukraine. Go figure.
