Anyone here into Rockabilly / Rock & Roll? I have no idea where the best sites are and could do with a few pointers - Googling is one thing but knowledgeable recommendations are another - thanks.
not a big Rockabilly fan, sorry :(
aw man - that takes me back to my youth. I was a huge Rockabilly/Psychobilly fan in the 80's - unfortunately though - I cannae help yae pal :hug:
I guess the best known bands are The Brian Setzer Orchestra and The Stray Cats.
If it's bands you are looking for, most of these http://www.deezer.com/artist/16281/related_artist are rockabilly related.
I can't help you with any sites.
Here are a couple of Albums I can recommend

These are all good - thanks. I was wondering if there are any bands/artists that do original music that isn't just tributes / soundalikes.
And of course, those retro ladies are something else...
Here is another one I forgot I had

Stray Cats were my first concert, back in '83.
Look into Dave Edmunds / Rockpile and you'll probably find some enjoyable stuff
The Cramps were always good for some extreme rockabilly. The band 'X' also had a few good rockabilly-ish songs over the years.
Arctic Blast posted this a week or two ago in the Jukebox thread. I liked it pretty well:
Thanks for those! That ^ sounds like Psychobilly ? So many sub-genres...
While admittedly not big into the genre as a whole, I've long been a fan of Reverend Horton Heat. I got to see him live at First Avenue in Minneapolis back in the day; he's still probably my favorite live performance that I've had the pleasure of attending.
