Traditional Rockabilly

Traditional rockabilly music is a vibrant and infectious genre that emerged in the early to mid-1950s, combining elements of blues, country, and rhythm and blues. It is characterized by its raw, energetic sound; a slapping double bass; and the twang of electric guitar that often carries a Chuck Berry-influenced lead. The genre's rhythms are typically upbeat and driving, designed to get listeners dancing. Rockabilly artists often infuse their music with a rebellious and carefree attitude, bringing forth an era of slicked-back hair, flashy clothes, and a love for hot-rods. The vocal styles in rockabilly range from heartfelt crooning to wild, uninhibited wailing. Artists like Hasil Adkins and The Collins Kids exemplify the genre's infectious spirit and pioneering edge, crafting music that resonates with an indomitable sense of youth and excitement.
