Last months topic:ROCKABILLY
TOPIC #2B: COOL ROCKABILLY
Well, I've already attempted to present an insight as to what rockabilly music is.

This topic is presented to give you an insight of who's who. Some more info and tune sources can be found at

As I noted last topic page, The Burnette Trio is well worth listening to as is Eddie Cochrane, Gene Vincent (who's actually rock n' roll), Carl Perkins, and a few other bigger names.

Now for a little more of the obscure, lesser known artists.

The following table will list only a couple of MUST HEAR rockabilly tunes.

 HI!
