Bobby Lee Trammell

Bobby Lee Trammell was a fiery rockabilly wildman and Arkansas-born musician who carved out a rowdy niche in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Known for his untamed stage presence and raw, energetic recordings like "Arkansas Twist" and "Uh-Oh," he blended rock 'n' roll rebellion with Southern twang, earning a cult following among rockabilly enthusiasts. Trammell's music often leaned into humorous, foot-stomping themes, exemplified by tracks like "Woe Is Me" and "Open Up Your Heart." Beyond music, he led a colorful life that included a later career in politics, serving in the Arkansas House of Representatives. Though he never achieved mainstream fame, his recordings remain prized by collectors, capturing the unpolished spirit of early rock 'n' roll. Trammell passed away in 2008, leaving behind a legacy as a regional legend who embodied rockabilly's untamed heart.
